Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) butter
- 2 cups (400 grams) sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) cocoa powder
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Fruit Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) strawberries, mashed
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) strawberry puree
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a saucepan, gently melt butter until smooth, then remove from heat and vigorously whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and glossy.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the wet mixture, stirring until a uniform, rich chocolate batter forms without overmixing.
- Carefully fold mashed strawberries and chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick that comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to completely cool at room temperature for approximately 45 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with strawberry puree and milk until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the strawberry glaze over the cooled brownies, allowing it to set for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and optional chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
- Mash strawberries thoroughly to distribute flavor evenly and prevent large fruit chunks disrupting the brownie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter and better ingredient integration.
- Enhance chocolate intensity by using dark chocolate chips and adding a dash of espresso powder to amplify rich cocoa notes.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, ensuring same measurement proportions.
