The Ultimate Moist Strawberry Chocolate Brownie Recipe
Have you tried my Dark Chocolate Brownie Recipe yet?Â
That is one of the most popular recipe posts on this blog. I’ve lost count of how many times I have made it over these past few years.
I have been going back and forth with the idea of trying something new but as my husband always says – “don’t mess with the winning formula” I do strongly believe in that too! and so keep making that same brownie over and over again.
Don’t you just wanna get into the screen and pick one?
Can you see how moist that brownie is? Look at that strawberry topping, it’s soft and moist.
NO! It’s not just fresh strawberries throw in! I make a strawberry syrup from scratch and spoon it over just before I bake it. If only I could tell you how absolutely heavenly that taste.
The Ultimate Moist Strawberry Chocolate Brownie Recipe
Let’s talk ingredients and SubstitutesÂ
- Sugar – I do prefer the mix of both brown and white sugar not just for taste but texture too.
- Unsalted Butter – you can use salted – I just prefer to control my salt in baking. If you do use salt just omit the salt in the recipe.
- Strawberries – I have used both fresh and frozen strawberries in season. Since we cook the strawberries both work just as well. I had fresh strawberries in the season so what you see above is made with fresh.
- Chocolate – you know how I feel about chocolate! It has to be a good quality chocolate. Buy something you like to eat not the compound chocolate please. And I prefer to use between 50 to 60% cocoa, unlike the original recipe where I use 70 or even 80%s sometimes. While I think this is a personal preference; to enhance the taste of the strawberries I would use no more than 60% cocoa.
- Cocoa – Unlike the original recipe I have not used cocoa in this recipe – again I don’t want the chocolate to be very intense.

Baking this strawberry chocolate brownie
I’ve made this recipe a few times now and the only thing I know you going to ask is- how do I know the brownie is baked?
Unlike the regular brownie where the top gets crisp. Here, the strawberry syrup stays moist. BUT don’t let it fool you. The top will set more as it cools.
Do the skewer test – you do want it to be moist but not a batter moist. I hope that makes sense.
Remember what I said in my video for Super Moist Dark Chocolate Brownies – When it comes to brownies it’s better to err on the side of less baked than overbaked. No one will complain about a moist brownie and no one likes a dry brownie.
