Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; consider using salted butter if necessary, reducing added salt.
  • 8 oz White Chocolate Bars Provides sweetness and a creamy texture; opt for high-quality brands for best results.
  • 2 pieces Eggs Contributes to structure and moisture; no substitutes recommended for best texture.
  • 2 pieces Egg Yolks Contributes to structure and moisture; no substitutes recommended for best texture.
  • 1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar Sweetens the brownies; brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; use pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; spoon and level for accuracy to avoid packing down.
  • 3/4 tsp Salt Balances sweetness; using Kosher salt gives it a cleaner flavor.
  • 2 1/2 cups Freeze-Dried Strawberries Adds strawberry flavor without excess moisture; avoid fresh or frozen strawberries to maintain texture.
For the Icing
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Sweetens and thickens the icing; consider using a sugar substitute for lower calorie counts.
  • 2-3 tbsp Whole Milk Adjusts consistency of the icing; non-dairy milk can also be used.
  • 1/4 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries Flavors the icing; use any leftover from the brownie preparation for an extra fruity kick.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  2. Combine 3/4 cup of unsalted butter and 8 oz of white chocolate bars in a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir continuously for 5–7 minutes until smooth and melted.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks. Add 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk for 3–4 minutes until pale, thick, and frothy.
  4. Gently fold the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
  5. Sift in 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold until just combined, keeping a few flour streaks for tenderness.
  6. Lightly grind 2 1/2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries into a coarse powder and fold it into the brownie batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 28–31 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack for 30–40 minutes before slicing.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar and 2–3 tablespoons of whole milk until smooth. Fold in 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries.
  10. Spread the icing over the cooled brownies, allow to set for 20–30 minutes, then slice into squares.
