Brownie Strawberry Shortcake
ingredients
BROWNIES (or make a boxed mix- but these are better!):
10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
THE REST:
2 baskets (pints) fresh strawberries, cut into bite-sized chunks
whipped cream (see tips below)
mint leaves for garnish, optional
how to:
1. Make the brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom and 2 sides of a 9x9-inch pan with a sheet of parchment paper. Spray 2 unlined sides with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cocoa, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Stir to fully combine. Add the slightly cooled butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in the flour and chocolate chips to the batter and stir until fully incorporated. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top to even it out. Bake brownies 22 to 25 minutes. They'll be done when a toothpick inserted inter the center should reveal a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Cool completely before cutting. You can run a knife along the sides and use the parchment to transfer them to a cutting board. If you need to store them, they'll be fine in a covered container for up to 3 days, and they can also be frozen. Cut about 1/3 of the pan of brownies into small chunks for the shortcakes. The rest of them are for you to enjoy on their own!
