  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • 6 fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and line an 8 x 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Place a large bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the butter and the chocolate. Stir occassionally the butter is fully melted, then remove from heat. Stir the chocolate into the melted butter until fully combined.
  • Stir in sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Sift in the remaining dry ingredients (flour and salt), and stir to combine. Stir half the chopped semi-sweet chocolate into the batter.
  • Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Top with strawberry slices, setting aside 6-8 slices to decorate the top.

  • Scatter the chopped semi-sweet chocolate over the top, then decorate with sliced strawberries.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes until puffed and the center of the brownies is just barely set. While the brownies are baking, grind freeze dried strawberries in the food processor until they form a thin powder.
  • While the brownies are still warm, sprinkle with freeze dried strawberry powder.

Notes

Once the brownies are fully cooled, slice into 16 squares (they are small, but very rich!). Pro tip: chill the brownies in the refrigerator or even freezer to make it easy to get very clean slices. Serve cooled brownies topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
These delicious treats will keep very well in an an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for several days.
