Equipment

  • 1 Standing Mixer or Handheld Mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Muffin Pan
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife

Ingredients

Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

  • 12 pcs Strawberries (small to medium in size, rinsed and completely patted dry)
  • 1 bowl Melting Chocolate
  • 6 pcs Strawberries (diced, to sprinkle on top of the piped buttercream)

Ingredients for Strawberry Buttercream:

  • 1 cup Unsalted Salted Butter (room temperature)
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Strawberry Jam (I use Bon Maman)
  • 1 pinch Salt

Ingredients for Brownies:

  • 18 ounce Brownie Mix (I use Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate)
  • 2 pcs Eggs (large)
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 2/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Rinse all of your strawberries (do not cut the tops off) and place them on a plate lined with paper towels and set them aside to dry completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then mix all your cake ingredients, brownie mix, water, oil, eggs and sour cream, together in a large mixing bowl until combined.
  • Next, spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and pour the brownie batter evenly among each tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of each brownie. Place the brownies on a cooling rack to cool.
  • While the brownies are baking, prepare your strawberry buttercream by creaming the softened butter using a hand or stand mixer. Add your strawberry jam and combine with the butter.
  • Throw in a pinch of salt, then start adding the powdered sugar one cup at a time, combining as you go. Once the buttercream is finished, add to a piping bag.
  • Pipe the buttercream onto each brownie and top with a tablespoon of diced strawberries around the rim of the buttercream.
  • Next, melt the melting chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, according to the package instructions, and dip each strawberry in one at a time, placing each one on top of each frosted brownie as you go.

Notes

  • This is a delicious recipe but if you plan to make it ahead of time, here are some suggestions:
    • I recommend making the brownies beforehand, letting them cool to room temperature then covering them with foil/plastic wrap or placing them in an airtight container and leaving them out on the kitchen counter overnight.
    • You can also make the buttercream ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container overnight. Just make sure to take it out about 1 hour before assembly so it's smooth and easy to work with when you get ready to pipe the brownies.
    • You can make the chocolate dipped strawberries the day before as well, also keep in the refrigerator until ready to top the brownies.
    • It's better to make all the pieces separately and store them separately if preparing ahead of time then assembling right before serving if you can.
