Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • 200 g (7oz) dark chocolate, broken into pieces/chopped
  • 1 cup (200g/7oz) unsalted butter, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (250g) sugar
  • 1 cup (135g) all-purpose flour 135 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp instant espresso powder*

For the topping:

  • 100 g (4oz) milk chocolate/semi-sweet chocolate, chopped chocolate chips are fine too!
  • 10 Fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160 C (325 F) and grease/line a 9 inch (22-24 cm) square pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt together the butter and dark chocolate. You can do this step over a double boiler, or in the microwave, stirring after every 45 seconds or until smooth (about 2 minutes). Set the chocolate aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt and instant espresso powder till smooth.
  • Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture (should be cool to touch) just until incorporated.
  • Finally, fold in the flour.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly to all corners.
  • Top the brownies with the strawberry slices and chocolate chunks.
  • Bake for 35-4o minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few damp crumbs.
  • While these taste great warm, chilling the brownies makes them far easier to cut. They also taste great cold.
  • Cut the brownies int0 squares. These make 9 generous portions (3x3 inches; pictured above) or 16 smaller (and more manageable!) ones.
  • These can be stored for about a week in the fridge (I wouldn't go much longer due to the fruit). You can freeze them for 1-2 months.

Notes

  • *Instant espresso powder highlights the flavor of the dark chocolate. I love adding it but if you don't like the idea of adding coffee to your dessert, you may leave it out.
  • The original recipe I adapted was listed in grams. However, I measured out the ingredient quantities in cups as well, which accounts for the "scant" or "heaping" variations in cups.
