Luscious Chocolate Strawberry Brownies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
– 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
5. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
6. Add Strawberries and Preserves: Arrange the sliced strawberries over the batter, then spread the strawberry preserves on top.
7. Finish with Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the strawberry layer, spreading it evenly to cover the strawberries.
8. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool and Drizzle: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the cooled brownies and cut them into squares before serving.
