Homemade gourmet desserts usually require hours in the kitchen and a sink full of dishes. This recipe solves the “time vs. taste” dilemma by using a high-quality boxed mix as a canvas for fresh fruit and melted chocolate, delivering a professional-level treat with minimal cleanup. These brownies by Nicole Keshishian Modic of Kale Junkie, uncovered in a viral reel, are a sweet example of texture and decadence.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus required oil/eggs per box
- 1 jar strawberry jam approx. 10-12 oz
- 3 cups strawberries fresh, sliced
- 1 ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Bake: Prepare the brownies according to the package instructions in a parchment-lined pan. Allow them to cool completely before proceeding.
- Layer: Spread an even layer of strawberry jam over the cooled brownies. Arrange the sliced strawberries in a tight, even layer over the jam.
- Melt: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until silky smooth.
- Top: Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries, using a spatula to spread it to the edges. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Set: Place in the freezer for 10 minutes (or refrigerator for 20 minutes) until the chocolate shell is firm.
- Serve: Slice with a hot knife for clean cuts and enjoy!
