Equipment
- 1 9-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate
Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a prepared 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- While brownies are cooling, rinse strawberries and pat dry thoroughly. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until set.
Serving
- Once brownies are completely cooled, cut into squares. Top each brownie with a chocolate-dipped strawberry before serving. Enjoy as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
