Fresh Berry Brownies Recipe
Start preparing the berry brownies by placing the dark chocolate – chocolate chips work too – and butter in a saucepan.
Melt everything over low heat on the small burner, stirring occasionally.
Once the butter and chocolate are completely melted, turn off the heat and add the sugar. Stir until it is completely dissolved.
Transfer everything into a bowl and let it cool.
Add the vanilla extract.
Continue with the eggs: add them one at a time, making sure the first one is fully incorporated into the batter before adding the second.
Using a sieve, add the flour and baking powder to the batter.
Mix until you get a smooth mixture.
Transfer the brownie batter into an 8-inch square baking pan.
Add fresh berries: I chose a mix of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
Bake the brownies in a static oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely, then cut it into squares.
Store the berry brownies in an airtight container or eat them immediately.

FAQ
How to achieve truly fudgy brownies?
The secret is to not overdo the flour and not to bake for too long. The brownies should remain slightly moist in the center: they will firm up as they cool, maintaining a fudgy consistency.
Can I reduce the amount of sugar?
Yes, you can reduce it slightly, keeping in mind that sugar contributes not only to the flavor but also to the fudgy texture of the brownies. Reducing it too much might make them drier.
What type of dark chocolate is recommended?
A dark chocolate between 60% and 70% is ideal for achieving an intense but balanced flavor, which pairs well with the acidity of fresh berries.
How to store berry brownies?
They can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days, well covered. In the refrigerator, they last up to 4 days, but it’s advisable to bring them back to room temperature before serving.
