Description

Ingredients

• Brownies
• 8 oz. bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate bars
• 1 ½ sticks of butter
• ½ c. cocoa, dark or regular (depending on preference)
• 4 eggs
• 1 c. white sugar
• ½ c. brown sugar
• 1 c. white rice flour
• ½ c. tapioca starch
• ¾ t. xanthan gum
• (Or 1 ½ c. all purpose flour instead of the above 3 ingredients)
• 1 T. coffee, prepared
• Icing
• ½ stick butter
• 3 c. powdered sugar
• ¼ t. salt
• ½ t. vanilla
• 2 T. milk
• 20 strawberries, stems removed

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt chocolate bars, butter and cocoa in a double broiler, stirring constantly. (I just use a larger pot full of 2 inches of water and then place a pan over it that covers the opening of the pot).
• While chocolate is melting, combine remaining brownie ingredients in a bowl. You can use a mixer if you like but a spoon and a bowl work just great too.
• Slowly add in melted chocolate/butter into the bowl. Mix until completely combined.
• Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread brownie batter into pan evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes or until toothpick almost comes clean out of the middle of the brownies.
• Let brownies cool completely. Once cooled, trim edges. Then cut center of brownies into 20 brownies (5x4).
• For the icing: Combine butter and 1 c. powdered sugar in a stand mixer and mix until well combined. Add 1 more cup of sugar, salt, vanilla and 1 T. milk. Mix until well combined and then add last cup of sugar and milk, if needed.
• Use this icing to make circles of icing on the tops of the brownies. Place a cut strawberry cut-side down into the icing and then top the strawberry with a dot of icing. Do this with the remaining brownies. Enjoy!
