Ingredients:
For the brownies:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the topping:
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)
Optional garnish: White chocolate drizzle or chocolate shavings.
Instructions:
Step 1: Bake the Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely.
Step 2: Add the Strawberries
Arrange halved strawberries, cut side down, evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
Press lightly so they stick into the top surface.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the strawberry layer, spreading it to coat all the fruit.
Step 4: Chill & Slice
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Slice into squares with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean edges.

Extra Indulgent: Add a cheesecake swirl to the brownie base before baking.
