Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric beater
  • Rubber spatula
  • Chefs knife
  • 8x8 inch Square tin
  • Baking paper

Ingredients
  

For the brownies -

  • 150 gm butter
  • 120 gm dark chocolate
  • 120 gm brown sugar
  • 80 gm castor sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 95 gm flour
  • 20 gm cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 250 g strawberries cut into half

For the icing -

  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • 200 gm dark chocolate
  • 15 g honey
  • 2 tsp instant coffee powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃, line an 8x8 inch tin with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the butter and chocolate, heat in the microwave until melted. This took me around 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds. Allow it to cool and set aside for now.
  • In a larger mixing bowl add the eggs, sugars and vanilla, beat until pale, creamy and doubled in volume. This will take around 3-4 minutes (you can do this with a whisk as well). Add the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the eggs and whisk together.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and using a rubber spatula fold the dry ingredients into it.
  • Pour the batter into the lined tin and bake for 22-25 minutes until the top is glossy and the inside is still soft, jam like consistency with a tooth pick test.
  • Allow the brownies to cool a little while we make the icing: in a sauce pot add the cream and instant coffee, bring to a simmer. Take it off the heat and add the chocolate, honey and let it sit for a few minutes. Gently start stirring it together until combined, let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • In the mean time let us layer the cooled brownies with our halved strawberries in an even layer.
  • Pour the slightly cooled ganache over the brownies, allow it to cool and set (around 2-3 hours at room temperature or in the fridge for 1 hour).
  • They must cool down completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before layering the strawberries and the frosting.
  • Let the layered brownie set in the fridge until set before slicing.
