Method
1. Get the Oven Ready
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, letting some hang over the edges—this makes lifting the brownies out super easy later.
2. Mix the Batter
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the sugar until fully blended. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth and glossy.In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until everything comes together—don’t overdo it.
3. Bake the Brownies
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes. You’re looking for a slightly fudgy center—a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before adding toppings.
4. Add the Strawberries
Once cooled, arrange the strawberry halves across the surface in an even layer.
5. Make the Ganache
Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
6. Assemble Everything
Pour the warm chocolate ganache over the strawberries, spreading it gently to cover the top.
7. Chill & Slice
Place the pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the topping can set. Once firm, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.Rich, chocolatey, and topped with fresh berries—these brownies are pure dessert heaven.
