Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup (180g) quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Fruit

  • 1 cup (150g) fresh ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, gently melt the butter and chopped chocolate together until smooth and glossy, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and room temperature eggs together until pale and slightly fluffy to ensure a great brownie texture.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg blend, then stir in the vanilla extract. Sift the all-purpose flour and salt over the mixture, folding gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the chopped strawberries into the batter to distribute the fruit evenly without breaking it down too much, preserving their shape and juiciness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to blend more evenly for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t overbake—remove when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs to keep fudgy texture.
  • Gently fold in strawberries at the end to avoid fruit turning mushy.
  • Use fresh strawberries instead of frozen to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Press berries slightly into the batter before baking to prevent sinking.
