Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (pureed)
- 1 tsp agar-agar powder
- 1 cup whipped coconut cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in flour and cocoa powder until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While cooling the brownies, blend fresh strawberries in a food processor. In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve agar-agar in water, then mix into the strawberry puree.
- Whip chilled coconut cream until fluffy peaks form, then fold into the cooled strawberry mixture.
- Once brownies are completely cool, spread the mousse on top and refrigerate for at least two hours until set.
