Make rich, fudgy brownies topped with a bright, sweet glaze made from fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry puree (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar into the cocoa mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake for fudgy results.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or a few drops of water for a thinner glaze.
  10. Once the brownies are cool, drizzle or spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor in the batter, you can use freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into a powder, and add them with the flour.
  • To make the strawberry puree for the glaze, blend about 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries until smooth, then strain out the seeds if desired.
  • For a shiny glaze, use slightly less liquid initially and let the glaze sit for five minutes before applying it to the cooled brownies.
