  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12-16 brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for brownie layer)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberry layer)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. Whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until just combined.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips and spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
  6. Bake 25–30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.
  7. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook 5–8 minutes until thickened. Cool to room temperature.
  8. Spread cooled strawberry mixture evenly over cooled brownies.
  9. Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Pour ganache over strawberry layer and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until set before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the brownie layer to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Allow each layer to cool fully before assembling to prevent mixing.
  • Chill completely and wipe the knife clean between slices for neat cuts.
  • Store refrigerated due to the fresh strawberry layer.
  • Dark or milk chocolate can be substituted for different sweetness levels.
