Ingredients

For the chocolate brownies:

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 7 oz. (200g) bittersweet chocolate , broken into small pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz. (225g) cream cheese , at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar , sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

For the topping:

  • 1 lb (450g) strawberries , cut into chunks
  • melted bittersweet chocolate , for drizzling

Instructions

The chocolate brownies:

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 9-inch (23 x 23cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes or more.
  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, and brown sugar, until blended. Add the vanilla extract and the butter-chocolate mixture and mix until combined. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt right into the batter and mix until smooth.
  • Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and level the top with a spatula. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool before spreading the cream cheese mixture.

The cream cheese frosting:

  • Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and cream and mix well.

The assembly:

  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled chocolate brownie foundation. Arrange the strawberry chunks and top with some melted chocolate. Chill before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
