We are going to make these zooey gooey chocolate strawberry brownies from scratch, but if you want to make brownies using a brownie mix, I have you covered.
Ingredients
To make these brownies, you are going to need unsweetened butter, dark chocolate, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and fresh strawberries.
Process
Take the ingredients out and place them on the countertop. Meanwhile pre-heat the oven.
Pre-heating the oven makes sure the heat is distributed evenly and the brownies are bake evenly.
Take an 8×8 inch baking tray. Grease and line it to make sure you get a clean cut once the brownies are baked and out of the oven.
Take a pan and melt unsalted butter and chocolate over medium heat. Make sure to keep on stirring to avoid chocolate burning.
Once the butter and chocolate have melted, remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for a while.
Now add sugar to the bowl with melted chocolate and whisk until combined properly.
Once combined, whisk the eggs properly. Do not overmix.
Overmixing will make the brownies hard.
Once the eggs are mixed properly, add vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder and mix well. Make sure there are no lumps but don’t over mix.
Once the batter is ready, pour it in the prepared baking tray. Top the batter with strawberry slices.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownie cool down for 15-20 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve.
Strawberry Cake Mix Brownies
To make these brownies with a cake mix, pre-heat oven 350 Degrees F (180 Degrees C).
Mix together cake mix, eggs, and melted butter and chocolate. Whisk properly and make sure there are no lumps.
Now pour this batter in the lined baking tray and top with strawberry slices.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownie cool down for 15-20 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.
How to make Eggless Strawberry Brownies
To make eggless brownies, replace eggs with 1/4 cup yogurt and follow the rest of the recipe as is.
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Brownies
To make vegan brownies, replace butter with vegetable oil and eggs with condensed coconut milk or yogurt.
Also, make sure you use vegan chocolate instead of regular dark chocolate.
With Cream Cheese
Now that you have the best of both worlds – brownies and strawberries, let’s add some cream cheese to these rich and delectable brownies.
Whisk together cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Add some vanilla and powdered sugar to it.
You can also add some strawberry jam to it and spread this mix over cooled brownies and savor
You can also make cream cheese strawberry glaze to pour over the brownies.
Whisk cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and add some mashed strawberries.
Add some water to get the spreading consistency, if needed.
Top the brownies with this glaze and serve.
