How to Store Strawberry Brownies
Store the strawberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. They retain their freshness this way for about 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, ensuring they are tightly covered.
Tips to Make Strawberry Brownies
– Ensure all your ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature for better mixing and even baking.
– Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding flour. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense brownies.
– For extra fudgy brownies, you can add an extra yolk.
Variations
– Try adding a layer of cream cheese for a tangy twist.
FAQs
1. Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?
A: Yes, you can. However, ensure you thaw and drain them properly, or else they might make your batter watery.
2. Q: Can I use other berries in place of strawberries?
A: Absolutely! Blueberries, raspberries or chopped blackberries, can work as delicious alternatives.
3. Q: How to check if the brownies are done?
A: Insert a toothpick in the center of the brownie. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, your brownies are ready. If it’s covered in wet batter, bake a little longer.
