  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups (50 g) freeze-dried strawberries

  • 2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) whole milk

Instructions
 

For the Strawberry Brownies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • 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.
    8 oz (226 g) high quality white chocolate bars, chopped  (Lindt or Ghirardelli bars), 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
  • 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.)
    2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 1 1/4 cups (250 g) granulated white sugar, 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pour in the melted butter and white chocolate mixture and whisk until combined and smooth.
  • Fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined.
    1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, 3/4 tsp salt
  • 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!)
    2 1/2 cups (50 g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • Pour the strawberry brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a mini offset spatula to smooth the batter out.
  • Bake for 28-31 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownies from the pan, and turn over to gently release.

For the Strawberry Icing

  • Make the strawberry frosting by mixing the powdered sugar and milk together. Add the freeze dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Mix the ground freeze dried strawberries into the icing.
    2 cups (270 g) powdered sugar, 2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) whole milk, 1/4 cup (5 g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • 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!
