Oh dear oh dear oh dear... Strawberries! They're not what they used to be in my day, are they? Don't get me wrong: They look great! Better than any strawberry could ever hope for to look back then. But, taste? Yikes! Straw dressed in pink more like. So, I am going to make a humble addition to this wonderful recipe below: Marinade the Strawberries (or any other fruit for that matter) in one of those cocktail or coffee aroma thingies first. I'm serious, I have tried it, and it works like a charm. Put the fruit in the syrup diluted with a little water and let it sit for a few hours. Drain, serve.


INGREDIENTS
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegatable oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder 
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks 
  • 3 cups strawberries, stems removed 
  • Chocolate melting wafers
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper then grease it with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, melted butter, water and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powders, confectioners’ sugar and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the brownies from the oven then let them cool completely in the pan.
  • Once the brownies have cooled arrange the strawberries on top, cut side down. Melt the chocolate wafers per the package instructions then drizzle is atop the strawberries. Let the chocolate drizzle firm up then slice and serve.

KELLY'S NOTE:
You can also use melted chocolate chips to drizzle atop in place of the chocolate melting wafers.

ABOUT THE CODES ON THIS BLOG

This is a random collection of pictures that relate to geometry in some way or other, which I combine with quotes from architects, artists, writers and scientists. I initially started this as a test blog for the template modifications that I like to do. But then the whole thing took on a life of its own since looking at these beautiful, structured, orderly pictures gives me a lot of peace; which I hope that you, the viewer, will experience as well.
