Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (240g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh strawberries, pureed and strained
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • Fresh strawberries, halved or whole (optional for decoration)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until glossy and combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold into wet mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Lift out using parchment overhang.
  7. Make strawberry frosting: Beat softened butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until fluffy.
  8. Add pureed strawberries, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light pink and smooth. Adjust consistency with powdered sugar or milk if needed.
  9. Cut brownies into 2-inch squares. Spread a generous layer of strawberry frosting on each piece.
  10. Stack frosted brownies into towers 3-4 pieces high. Chill in fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm frosting.
  11. Prepare chocolate coating: Melt chocolate and heavy cream together in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
  12. Dip or drizzle chocolate over chilled brownie towers, covering completely or partially. Use offset spatula for even coating. Return to fridge to set for 30 minutes.
  13. Decorate tops with fresh strawberries or chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use parchment paper with overhang for easy brownie removal. Avoid overmixing batter to keep brownies fudgy. Chill frosted brownies before stacking to prevent frosting from smearing. Melt chocolate gently to avoid scorching. Clean knife between cuts for neat slices. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For vegan, use flax eggs and dairy-free butter and cream alternatives.
