Rich, fudgy brownies topped with fresh strawberries dipped in glossy dark chocolate, perfect for indulgent moments and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 12 large fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 8 ounces (225g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the flour and salt gently with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool brownies completely on a cooling rack.
  8. Melt chopped chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
  9. Dip each strawberry halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on parchment-lined tray to set slightly.
  10. Arrange the dipped strawberries on the cooled brownies and chill the pan for 15-20 minutes to firm the chocolate.
  11. Slice brownies with a sharp knife, wiping clean between cuts, and serve.

Notes

Check brownies starting at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking. Use low heat and stir frequently when melting chocolate to prevent seizing. Dry strawberries thoroughly before dipping to avoid clumpy chocolate. Prepare strawberries a day ahead if desired and add just before serving. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour. For vegan, use coconut oil or vegan butter and flax eggs.
