Ingredients:
- 170g dark chocolate, chopped
- 115g unsalted butter
- 150g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80g all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 150g fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 20cm square pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving overhangs for easy removal.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter over a double boiler, stirring until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Add the sifted flour and salt to the chocolate mixture and mix until the flour is fully incorporated.
4. Add the Strawberries:
- Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the brownie batter, being careful not to overmix to avoid crushing them.
5. Baking the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with moist crumbs attached.
6. Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the strawberry brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a fudgier texture, serve the strawberry brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- You can add an extra touch of freshness by garnishing the brownies with fresh strawberry slices when serving.
- Store the strawberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
