Thick, fudgy chocolate strawberry brownies make for an ultra-decadent summer treat.
During summertime in Poland, stands pop up alongside the road, outside the grocery store, on street corners selling baskets of brightly colored berries. The mix includes strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currents and cherries.
I personally prefer eating berries plain, in breakfast food or served alongside dessert.
Rarely do I cook with them.
It isn’t that I haven’t tried, it’s just that a lot of the time, fruit tastes so good on its own that it seems pointless to bake a pie or a tart that doesn’t seemingly do the fruit enough justice. Why tinker with perfection?
I was, however, more than thrilled with this fudgy strawberry brownies recipe.
The brownies are perfection on their own (just look!). Damp, dark, velvety – pure chocolate decadence. Just like my classic fudgy chocolate brownies [1]– but chocolate-based instead of cocoa-based. I’ve made the base recipe (sans chocolate chunks and strawberries) with a salted caramel [2] peanut topping served with vanilla ice cream.
This strawberry variation is perfect around this time of year. The strawberry slices caramelize while baking, which makes them crisp and slightly chewy (depending on how thin you’re cutting them). They lend a tart sweetness, working well with that rich interior.
This strawberry fudgy brownies recipe is easy to prepare, and a definite favourite of ours this summer. You can easily whip up a batch and keep them stored.
