Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies Ingredients

• Brownie mix
• Eggs
• Oil
• Water
• Fresh strawberries
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips or high-quality chocolate bar

This chocolate-covered strawberry brownies recipe calls for a brownie mix. Choose your favorite brand, or of course, you could make your own brownie recipe from scratch instead. Bake according to your preferences: do you like cakey or fudgy?

Whether you get that crackly brownie top or not, adding sliced strawberries and covering the entirety with an indulgent chocolate ganache will be scrumptious. Chocolate and strawberries are a winning pair, and these delish chocolate-covered strawberry brownies would be perfect for a gathering. The fruit does get soggy quickly, so you’ll want to share these the day of!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

FIRST STEP: Prepare and bake brownies in an 8x8 square baking dish according to the package instructions.  Cool completely.

SECOND STEP: Rinse strawberries then remove stems and slice in half.

THIRD STEP: Arrange strawberry halves over the top of the cooled brownies.  

FOURTH STEP:  Place chocolate (if using a chocolate bar, chop into small pieces) into a glass mixing bowl.

FIFTH STEP: Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave for approximately 1-2 minutes until steaming, but not boiling.

SIXTH STEP: Pour cream over the chocolate and place a plate over the top of the bowl to trap the heat. Let sit for 3-4 minutes.

SEVENTH STEP: Remove the lid from the bowl and whisk the chocolate and cream mixture until it is smooth and glossy.

EIGHTH STEP: Pour the ganache over the strawberries and brownies.  Use a spatula to spread the ganache to cover the strawberries completely.

NINTH STEP: Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.

TENTH STEP: Use a hot knife to slice the brownies.

Cooking Tips 

These taste just like a chocolate-dipped strawberry - so rich and decadent.

Dry or drain the strawberries before using them to top the brownies.

Once the strawberries are washed and cut, they don’t keep well - much like a chocolate-dipped strawberry, these are best eaten the same day.  After 24 hours, the strawberries will become soggy and change the consistency of the dessert. 

Storing this Recipe 

IN THE FRIDGE: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Note, this recipe is best eaten fresh because the strawberries will soften and change the texture of the dessert as they lose liquid.

IN THE FREEZER: It is not recommended to store this recipe in the freezer, but if you do, they will keep for up to 3 months. Serve them frozen or slightly thawed if they were stored in the freezer so they will maintain some structural integrity.
