These delicious chocolate-covered strawberry brownies are a classic dessert with a strawberry surprise inside. They are topped with a rich chocolate ganache, and when you take your first bite of these chewy brownies, you get the sweet and fruity taste of a fresh strawberry inside.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies Ingredients
This chocolate strawberry brownies recipe combines fudgy brownies with sweet, tangy fresh strawberries and a velvety chocolate ganache.
The brownie base is dense and chocolatey, while the strawberries add natural sweetness and tartness.
The chocolate ganache completes the ensemble, creating a delightful treat.
You’ll need:
- 1 box of brownie mix, plus ingredients listed on the box to make the brownies (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 pound of fresh strawberries, rinsed with stems removed and halved
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips or high-quality chocolate bar
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
Substitutions And Additions
BROWNIE MIX: You can use any brand of brownie mix that you prefer and any flavor variation for the brownie base.
Some of the flavor options include fudge, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or triple fudge.
STRAWBERRIES: You definitely want to use fresh strawberries for this chocolate-covered strawberry brownies recipe, not frozen.
Keep in mind that once the strawberries are washed and cut, they don’t keep well, so these are best eaten the same day. After 24 hours, the strawberries are pretty soggy.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can use any type of chocolate chips or chocolate bar that you like. You could use milk or dark chocolate.
Also, if you are using a brownie mix that has a double or triple chocolate flavor, these mixes will often include chocolate chips in their mix.
How To Make This Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Brownie Recipe
The beauty of this recipe is that it starts with a boxed brownie mix. Once they are baked, top with the layer of strawberries and chocolate ganache for a decadent treat.
PRO TIP:
You could either line the pan with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick spray. Lining the pan with parchment paper will allow you to lift the entire baked brownies out of the pan for easier cutting once cooled. You can also grease the pan instead if you would prefer.
STEP ONE: Prepare brownie batter and bake brownies in an 8×8 square baking dish according to the package instructions. Cool completely.
PRO TIP:
Do not over-bake the brownies so that you make sure they are yummy and fudgy.
STEP TWO: Rinse strawberries, then remove stems and slice in half.
STEP THREE: Arrange strawberry halves in an even layer over the top of the cooled brownies.
STEP FOUR: Place chocolate chips or chopped baking bar into a glass microwave-safe bowl.
STEP FIVE: Heat heavy cream in the microwave for approximately one to two minutes until steaming but not boiling.
STEP SIX: Pour cream over the chocolate and place a plate over the top of the bowl to trap the heat. Let it sit for three to four minutes.
STEP SEVEN: Remove the lid from the bowl and whisk the melted chocolate and hot cream mixture until it is smooth and glossy.
STEP EIGHT: Pour the chocolate ganache over the strawberries and brownies. Use a spatula to spread the ganache to cover the strawberries completely.
STEP NINE: Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
STEP TEN: Use a hot knife to slice the brownies.
How To Serve Chocolate Strawberry Brownies
This decadent dessert is just as irresistible as a chocolate-covered strawberry. If you are a fan of the chocolate strawberry combination, you’ll be eager to gobble this up for dessert.
