Step by Step Instructions
Please see the recipe card for the full recipe!
STEP ONE: Melt butter and the white chocolate together in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to ensure the white chocolate gets heated evenly. Then remove from the heat.
STEP TWO: Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk together until pale and smooth. (You can also use an electric hand mixer on high speed to make it easier.)


STEP THREE: Pour in the melted butter and white chocolate mixture and whisk until combined and smooth.
STEP FOUR: Fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined.


STEP FIVE: Add the freeze dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground. Fold the ground freeze-dried strawberries into the batter.
(It's important to wait to grind up the strawberries until you're ready to add them to the batter. If you live in a humid climate like me, they will get really clumpy and difficult to work with!)


STEP SIX: Pour the strawberry brownie batter into a lightly greased 9x9 square pan lined with parchment paper. Use a mini offset spatula to smooth the batter out. Bake and then let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.


STEP SEVEN: Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownies from the pan, and turn over to gently release.
STEP EIGHT: Make the strawberry frosting by mixing the powdered sugar and milk together. Add the freeze dried strawberries to a food process and pulse until finely ground. Mix the ground freeze dried strawberries into the icing.


STEP NINE: Pour glaze on top of the brownies and smooth it out with a mini offset spatula. Let the icing set, then cut into 16 squares and enjoy!

FAQs
Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries? No, freeze dried strawberries have to be used to keep the brownies fudgy.
Can I use white chocolate chips? I really recommend using white chocolate bars. This will give you the best textured brownies.
How do I store these brownies? Store leftovers in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to four days. Freeze for up to two weeks.

Pro Tips
For best results, measure your flour properly. This is always my #1 baking tip. Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour. This will always lead to using too much flour. Instead sprinkle spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and swipe excess flour off with the back of a knife. Or better yet, weigh your flour. 1 cup of flour equals 125 grams.
Wait to grind your freeze-dried strawberries until right before using. This will help keep them from getting clumpy.
Whisk your eggs and sugar together until pale and smooth. This creates a perfect textured brownie.
Gently fold in your dry ingredients. This helps to keep the texture of the brownies super chewy.
