I fell in love with these brownies the moment I tasted the luscious blend of fudgy brownie, fresh strawberries, and silky chocolate ganache—a dessert that feels both luxurious and easy to make. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe brings together three of my favorite things: chewy brownies, sweet strawberries, and rich ganache. It’s perfect for special moments—romantic evenings or celebrations—yet simple enough for a cozy night in.

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • unsalted butter

  • granulated sugar

  • large eggs

  • vanilla extract

  • all-purpose flour

  • unsweetened cocoa powder

  • salt

  • baking powder

  • fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

  • semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • heavy cream

Directions

  1. I preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. I melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the sugar until combined.

  3. I remove the pan from heat and beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. I stir in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

  5. I pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

  6. I bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  7. I let the brownies cool completely before topping.

  8. I arrange halved strawberries over the cooled brownies.

  9. To make the ganache, I heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

  10. I pour the ganache over the strawberries and spread it evenly.

  11. I refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 16 to 24 squares, depending on how large I slice them. Total time, including prep, baking, and chilling, is about 60 to 70 minutes.

Variations

  • I sometimes use raspberries or cherries in place of strawberries for a different fruity twist.

  • I like adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter for extra texture.

  • When I want a richer taste, I swap the semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate in the ganache.

  • A dash of espresso powder in the brownie batter gives a deeper chocolate flavor.

  • For a holiday twist, I sprinkle crushed peppermint over the ganache before it sets.

Storage/reheating

I store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Before serving, I let them sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes so the ganache softens. I don’t recommend freezing once the strawberries are added, but the plain brownies freeze well for up to 2 months.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

I’ve tried it, but they release too much moisture and make the brownies soggy. Fresh strawberries are best.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, I substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, and it works well without compromising texture.

How do I get a smooth and glossy ganache?

I make sure to heat the cream gently and let it sit over the chocolate for a minute before stirring until smooth.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

I usually bake the brownies a day in advance, then top them with strawberries and ganache the day I plan to serve them.

Can I make individual brownie bites with this recipe?

Yes, I bake the batter in a muffin tin lined with parchment and top each with a strawberry half and a spoonful of ganache.

Conclusion

These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies always make me feel like I’m serving something special. Whether I’m impressing guests or indulging at home, they deliver the perfect mix of chewy, fruity, and chocolatey in every bite
