# Composition:
→ Base Layer
01 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
02 -
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
2 cups white sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
4 big eggs
06 -
1 cup plain flour
07 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
08 -
2 sticks (1 cup) of unsalted butter
→ Top Layer
09 -
1/2 cup whipping cream
10 -
1 pint of strawberries, cut in half with stems removed
11 -
1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet
# Étapes de réalisation:
01 -
Turn on your oven and preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Line a rectangular 9×13-inch pan with parchment, leaving a bit sticking out over the edge for easy lifting later.
02 -
In a heatproof bowl, microwave the butter until melted. Stir in the sugar and mix well. Then, beat in the eggs and vanilla until creamy smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet bowl—don’t overdo it.
03 -
Spread the batter evenly into the lined pan. Bake it for 25-30 minutes. You’ll see it’s ready when a toothpick comes out with just a bit of crumb. Let the brownie layer sit in the pan until it cools completely.
04 -
Take cooled brownies and lay the strawberry halves on top. For the chocolate ganache, gently microwave the cream and chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until shiny and smooth. Drizzle this over the strawberries until everything is covered.
05 -
Refrigerate everything for about an hour, giving the chocolate time to solidify. When ready, lift the brownies out by the parchment paper edges and cut them into nice squares.

Before you add strawberries, dry them with paper towels so the moisture doesn’t mess up the ganache.
