Berry Bliss: The Ultimate Strawberry Brownies with White Chocolate Swirls

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
2. 2

   In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until well combined and slightly glossy.
3. 3

   Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. 4

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. 5

   Gently fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
6. 6

   Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 28-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. 7

   Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is crucial for fudgy brownies.
8. 8

   While the brownies cool, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and strawberry purée until smooth. Gradually add milk or cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable but thick consistency. Stir in vanilla extract, if using.
9. 9

   Once the brownies are completely cool, lift them from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and peel away the paper. Drizzle or spread the strawberry icing evenly over the top. Allow the icing to set for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
