Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup strawberry jam
- 0.5 cup fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup white chocolate or milk chocolate, melted (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and combined. Let cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is glossy and thick.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Warm the strawberry jam slightly in the microwave (about 10-15 seconds) to make it spreadable, then gently spread it over the brownie batter layer.
Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it carefully to cover the jam layer as much as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle with melted white or milk chocolate (if using) and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.
Remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang, slice into 12 squares, and serve. Enjoy your dreamy strawberry chocolate fudge brownies!
