Step-by-Step Instructions

How to Make Delicious Strawberry Brownies with White Chocolate Ganache

1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture (15 minutes)
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, toss in the strawberries, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally, and breathe in the sweet fragrance wafting from the bubbling strawberries. Heat until the strawberries start breaking down, about 3 to 4 minutes, then continue simmering until the mixture resembles a thick, delicious strawberry jam, this took me about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in that zesty lemon peel and a pinch of salt, then remove from heat. Transfer the whole mix to a blender and puree it until smooth, which takes just a minute or so. Let it cool a bit.

2. Preheat Your Oven (10 minutes)
Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven, then preheat it to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9″ square baking pan with parchment paper, trust me, this makes life easier when you’re cutting those brownies.

3. Melt Your Chocolate and Butter (5 minutes)
In a medium heatproof bowl, microwave the butter and the 6 oz of white chocolate melts together in 30-second increments, stirring between each round. It should take about 90 seconds total. You want melted chocolate and butter that’s smooth and creamy oh, the aroma is heavenly!

4. Beat the Eggs and Combine (10 minutes)
In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, get your eggs, egg yolk, granulated sugar, and powdered freeze-dried strawberries (if using) all together. Mix it on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. About 3 minutes should do the trick. Beat in the vanilla and 1 cup of your cooled strawberry puree, don’t forget to reserve the rest for your ganache. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate until nice and smooth.

5. Combine Ingredients (10 minutes)
Switch to the paddle attachment (it’s a game changer, trust me) and sift in the flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Beat it on medium-low speed until everything is just combined. Add a few drops of that pink gel food coloring and mix until you hit the color you want, be careful not to overmix!

6. Bake! (35-40 minutes)
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Pop it into the oven and let it bake until the edges are lightly browned and a tester comes out clean, around 35 to 40 minutes. When they’re done, let the brownies cool in the pan. The best part? Your kitchen will smell divine!

7. Make the White Chocolate Ganache (10 minutes)
In another heatproof bowl, combine the 8 oz of white chocolate melts and the heavy cream. Microwave this mix in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until it’s all melted and smooth, this usually takes about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of that lovely strawberry puree you reserved. Let this delicious ganache cool a little, then spread it over the perfectly cooled brownies.

8. Decorate (5 minutes)
Top with thinly sliced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries for that extra flair! Yum!
