Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil like canola
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips melted and cooled
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. **Heat.** Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
  2. **Mix.** Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in one bowl. In a separate bowl whisk sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate until glossy.
  3. **Fold.** Add dry to wet and stir until just combined. Spread batter in the pan.
  4. **Bake.** Bake 28 to 32 minutes until a toothpick has moist crumbs but no raw batter. Cool completely 1 hour.
  5. **Strawberries.** Pat sliced strawberries dry with paper towels. Arrange in an even layer over the cooled brownies.
  6. **Ganache.** Heat cream until just steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then whisk smooth. Cool to 90F (warm not hot).
  7. **Top.** Pour ganache evenly over the strawberries. Chill 2 hours until ganache is set, then slice into 12 bars.

Notes

Use Dutch process cocoa powder for the deepest chocolate flavor in the brownie base. Slice strawberries 1/4 inch thick. Thinner slices get lost in the ganache and thicker slices push the chocolate up. Cool ganache to 90F (warm not hot) before pouring or it will melt the brownies.
