Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Brownies make by far the BEST strawberry and chocolate combination. Fudgy and moist chocolate brownies topped with fresh strawberries and covered with a rich chocolate ganache will sure knock your socks off.
My favorite ingredient in baking is chocolate. I feel like a pro whenever I bake something with chocolate. Probably brownies are on top of the list because it’s easy to make and you can easily impress someone with them. That being said, I know your favorite chocolate recipe on Give Recipe is Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake. This is probably because of the perfect marriage of strawberry and chocolate in that cake, which has led me to think of this strawberry brownies recipe.
Who wouldn’t be impressed by strawberries? There is no fruit that is more attractive than strawberries. What is your favorite way of eating them? Although I love them fresh and as they are, I can never resist a chocolate strawberry combination or when they are topped on a lighter dessert like our Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie.
I’ve been planning to make chocolate-covered strawberry brownies since I discovered my passion about combining these super pretty looking berries with chocolate when I first made Classic Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries. These two can make any occasion so pleasing. Can you imagine how these strawberry brownies will become an awe-inspiring dessert for everyone you serve them to?
I love brownies. I adore strawberries covered with chocolate. Most of you do too. So how about combining these in one recipe that is sure to please everyone? There is no doubt, this is a decadent dessert. You will feel it once you have the first bite. If a slice of fudgy brownie with chunks of fresh strawberries covered with a silky layer of chocolate can not take you to heaven, I don’t know what can. Let’s face it, this is not one of those healthier desserts but it’s okay to spoil yourself once in a blue moon, right? On the other hand, if you are looking for less guilty brownies, go check our Healthier Avocado Brownies recipe. It is incredibly tasty as well.
How to make strawberry topped brownies
- I make the brownies from scratch but you can use your favorite brownie mix. If you want to add even more chocolate in your brownies, add in some chocolate chips in the batter before pouring it in the pan. I think the amount of chocolate is enough when you consider the chocolate ganache on the top.
- Bake the brownie of your choice. See ours below in the recipe section. Let it cool down completely. Slice the strawberries in two and place the sliced parts down on your newly baked and cooled brownie.
- Meanwhile prepare the chocolate ganache. Let it cool a bit and pour over the strawberries. Chill in the refrigerator for half an hour or until set.
I think you can use this method with any fruit you like. I’m planning to try it with peaches when they are in season. Will definitely let you know.

I am making these now, with my one bowl brownie recipe. I doubled it because I am bringing them to physical therapy tomorrow.
As an idea for other fruits…. raspberries with a dark chocolate ganache!!!! I will be doing coffee hour for church around Valentine’s day, and that will be a perfect dessert (along with my cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls, mini Bundt cakes and quick breads, plus fresh fruit, a veggie platter, and cheese and crackers! We are the fellowship of the fork!!!)
