Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
  • 8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups (50 g) freeze-dried strawberries

Strawberry Icing

  • 2 cups (270 g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (5 g) freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9 inch pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt butter and white chocolate: In a double boiler set over medium-low heat, melt together the butter and chopped white chocolate, stirring continuously to evenly heat the chocolate mixture. Remove from heat once fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and smooth. Using an electric hand mixer on high speed can speed up this process.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: Pour the melted butter and white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until the batter is combined and smooth.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients: With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Prepare freeze-dried strawberries: Place the freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Fold these ground strawberries into the batter, ensuring an even strawberry flavor.
  7. Pour batter and bake: Pour the strawberry brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a mini offset spatula to smooth out the surface evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 31 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool brownies: Remove from oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges, then invert to release the brownies gently.
  9. Make strawberry icing: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of whole milk to form a glaze. Pulse the remaining freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground, then mix into the icing for a strawberry flavor and speckles.
  10. Glaze brownies: Pour the strawberry icing evenly over the cooled brownies and smooth with a mini offset spatula. Allow the icing to set before slicing.
  11. Serve: Cut the glazed brownies into 16 squares and enjoy the combination of creamy white chocolate and strawberry flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the freeze-dried strawberries are ground just before adding to prevent clumping, especially in humid climates.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate like Lindt or Ghirardelli for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the brownies tender.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before applying the icing to avoid melting.
  • The icing thickness can be adjusted with additional milk to achieve desired consistency.
