Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Brownies

  • 1 1/2 cups freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chopped
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or more as needed
  • 2 drops red food coloring optional, for a pink color

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some excess paper to hang over the edges for easy lifting after baking.
  • Prepare Strawberry Powder: Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder. Set aside.
  • Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Incorporate the chopped white chocolate and mix until it is fully melted and has a smooth consistency. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for a bit.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted white chocolate mixture, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring to mix thoroughly after each addition.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour and strawberry powder, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies soft and tender.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out free of any batter. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan completely before glazing.
  • Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Incorporate additional milk as necessary to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Stir in the red food coloring to achieve a light pink hue.
  • Glaze and Serve: Once the brownies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before cutting into squares.
