Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie batter and pour it into the prepared dish. Bake for about 35-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbly. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, followed by 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Pour this over the cooled brownie base.
In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the strawberry layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to set.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and slice the brownies into squares. Optionally garnish with fresh strawberries.
