Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Brownies

  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
  • 8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups (50 g) freeze-dried strawberries

Strawberry Icing

  • 2 cups (270 g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (5 g) freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt the chopped butter and white chocolate together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and smooth. An electric hand mixer on high speed can make this process faster.
  4. Combine Wet Mixtures: Pour the melted butter and white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Incorporate Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground. Fold these ground strawberries carefully into the batter. Grinding just before folding helps prevent clumping, especially in humid climates.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and use a mini offset spatula to smooth it evenly.
  8. Bake Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-31 minutes. After baking, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Remove Brownies from Pan: Once cooled, gently loosen the edges of the brownies with a butter knife, then turn the pan over to release the brownies without breaking.
  10. Make Strawberry Icing: Mix the powdered sugar with the whole milk until smooth. Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground, then mix them into the icing for a colorful, flavorful glaze.
  11. Glaze Brownies: Pour the strawberry icing over the cooled brownies and use a mini offset spatula to smooth it out evenly. Allow the icing to set before cutting.
  12. Serve: Cut the brownies into 16 equal squares and enjoy this delightful strawberry-infused treat.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide concentrated strawberry flavor without adding moisture that would affect the texture.
  • Grinding freeze-dried strawberries immediately before use prevents clumping caused by humidity.
  • Ensure brownies have cooled completely before glazing to prevent the icing from melting.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
