Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Brownies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • For the Topping
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or grease generously.
  2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk sugar into the melted butter until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool completely.
  8. Arrange strawberry halves cut-side down on top of the cooled brownies, covering the surface.
  9. To make ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming (not boiling). Pour over chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Let rest 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  10. Pour warm ganache evenly over strawberries, letting it drip into the gaps.
  11. Refrigerate 30–60 minutes to set. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.

Notes

For extra shine, add 1 tablespoon corn syrup to the ganache. Chill the brownies well before slicing for the cleanest presentation.
