Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and White Chocolate: Using a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt the butter and chopped white chocolate together. Stir continuously to avoid burning and ensure even melting, then remove from heat once smooth.
  3. Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is 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 fully combined and smooth.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the all-purpose flour and salt carefully using a rubber spatula, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  6. Prepare Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Pulse the 2 1/2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground. Immediately fold them into the brownie batter to prevent clumping caused by humidity.
  7. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top using a mini offset spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-31 minutes. The brownies should be set but still moist inside.
  8. Cool and Remove: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use a butter knife to loosen the edges, then carefully invert the brownies out of the pan.
  9. Make Strawberry Icing: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and whole milk to make a smooth icing. Pulse the 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground and mix them into the icing thoroughly.
  10. Glaze the Brownies: Pour the strawberry icing over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a mini offset spatula. Allow the icing to set before cutting the brownies.
  11. Serve: Cut the iced brownies into 16 squares and enjoy your delightful strawberry-infused treat.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries should be ground right before use to avoid clumping, especially in humid environments.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep brownies tender and moist.
  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before applying icing to prevent it from melting.
  • Cut brownies with a sharp knife warmed in hot water and wiped dry for clean edges.
