Ingredients

For the Brownies:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Creamy Frosting:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons heavy cream

1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir well until smooth.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.

Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift them out and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Frosting: While the brownies cool, prepare the creamy frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed.

Incorporate Flavors: Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Mix until smooth, then stir in the pureed strawberries until fully incorporated.

Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the creamy frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.

Slice and Serve: Cut the frosted brownies into squares. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Enjoy your delectable Strawberry Bliss Brownies topped with creamy frosting!
