Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam or puree
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed)
- A few drops red or pink food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, stirring until smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating doneness.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before proceeding to cut and frost.
- Once cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped brownies carefully.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth.
- Mix in the strawberry jam or puree, then add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency. Add a few drops of red or pink food coloring if desired for a vibrant look.
- Spread the strawberry frosting evenly over each heart-shaped brownie. Optionally, add sprinkles on top for extra decoration.
