Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

My favorite ingredient in baking is chocolate. I feel like a pro whenever I bake something with chocolate. Probably brownies are on top of the list because it’s easy to make and you can easily impress someone with them. That being said, I know your favorite chocolate recipe on Give Recipe is Chocolate Strawberry Cake. This is probably because of the perfect marriage of strawberry and chocolate in that cake, which has led me to think of this strawberry brownies recipe.

Who wouldn’t be impressed by strawberries? There is no fruit that is more attractive than strawberries. What is your favorite way of eating them? Although I love them fresh and as they are, I can never resist a chocolate strawberry combination or when they are topped on a lighter dessert like our Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie.

I’ve been planning to make chocolate-covered strawberry brownies since I discovered my passion about combining these super pretty looking berries with chocolate when I first made Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries. These two can make any occasion so pleasing. Can you imagine how these strawberry brownies will become an awe-inspiring dessert for everyone you serve them to?

I love brownies. I adore strawberries covered with chocolate. Most of you do too. So how about combining these in one recipe that is sure to please everyone? There is no doubt, this is a decadent dessert. You will feel it once you have the first bite. If a slice of fudgy brownie with chunks of fresh strawberries covered with a silky layer of chocolate can not take you to heaven, I don’t know what can. Let’s face it, this is not one of those healthier desserts but it’s okay to spoil yourself once in a blue moon, right? On the other hand, if you are looking for less guilty brownies, go check our Healthier Avocado Brownies recipe. It is incredibly tasty as well.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

•     ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (130g) coconut oil
•     ¼ teaspoon salt
•     ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons (70g) unsweetened cocoa powder
•     1¼ cups coconut sugar
•     ½ cup almond flour
•     2 large eggs
•     1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•     1 cup dark chocolate chunks optional

For the chocolate topping

•     1 cup fresh strawberries diced
•     2 tablespoons maple syrup
•     ⅓ cup cocoa powder
•     ⅓ cup coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang on the sides, spray with cooking spray; set pan aside.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine coconut oil, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Stop to stir, and heat in 10-second bursts until mixture has melted and can be stirred smooth (mine took 45 seconds + 15 seconds). Whisk for about 30 seconds to help dissolve the coconut sugar into the oil.
3. Add the vanilla, eggs, and stir vigorously until batter is thick, shiny, and well blended. Add the almond flour and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
4. Bake until a toothpick in the center emerges slightly moist with batter, about 22-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick - it should come out with moist crumbs attached. Don't over bake! Let brownies cool completely.
5. Spread the strawberries evenly over the brownies. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Pour evenly over the strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 1 hours before cutting into 16 squares.
6. Brownies will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
