Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chips for extra fudginess
- 8 oz (225g) good-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or neutral oil
- 12–16 medium strawberries, dry and at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Mix melted butter and sugar in a bowl until glossy. Add eggs and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
- Whisk in cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined. Fold in chopped chocolate if desired.
- Spread batter into the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly.
- Chop the cooled brownies into squares.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.

- Chill for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
Notes
