Indulge in these Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Brownies! 🍫🍓 The perfect mix of fudgy brownie, sweet strawberry, and rich chocolate.
Ingredients:
For the Brownies :
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
For the Strawberry Layer :
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- For the Chocolate Dipping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smooth dipping)
Instructions :
1. Make the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
2. Add the Strawberry Layer:
- While the brownies cool, prepare the strawberries. If desired, sprinkle sugar over the diced strawberries to enhance sweetness.
- Evenly spread the strawberries over the cooled brownies.
3. Dip in Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Carefully dip each brownie square halfway into the melted chocolate, or drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries if preferred.
- Place the dipped brownies on parchment paper to let the chocolate set.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate has set, your Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Brownies are ready to be enjoyed!
- Serving Suggestions
- Serve these brownies chilled for a refreshing treat, or warm them slightly for a gooey chocolate experience.
