Here’s a sweet, fruity twist on classic brownies — Strawberry Brownies that are fudgy, chocolatey, and full of fresh strawberry flavor 🍓🍫
Strawberry Brownies
Serves: 9–12
Time: 35–40 minutes
Ingredients
For the Brownie Base:
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Strawberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep Oven
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make Strawberry Puree
- In a small bowl, mash chopped strawberries with sugar and lemon juice.
- Set aside.
3️⃣ Make Brownie Batter
- Melt butter and let cool slightly.
- Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until combined.
4️⃣ Assemble
- Pour brownie batter into prepared pan.
- Spoon strawberry puree over the top.
- Use a knife or skewer to swirl the strawberries into the batter for a marbled effect.
5️⃣ Bake
- Bake 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (slightly fudgy is ideal).
6️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Optional: drizzle with melted white chocolate or dust with powdered sugar.
Tips & Variations
- Use frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t available — thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Add chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks for extra richness.
- For a denser, fudgier brownie, reduce flour to 1/3 cup (30 g).
If you want, I can also give a strawberry cheesecake brownie version where a creamy cheesecake layer is swirled with strawberries on top of chocolate brownies.
