Instructions

1. Make strawberry compote:

In a small saucepan, simmer strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in cornstarch; cook 1 more minute until thickened. Cool completely.

2. Make brownie batter:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8″ pan with parchment.
Melt butter and chocolate together (microwave or double boiler); cool 5 minutes.

Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.

3. Swirl & bake:

Spread half the batter into pan. Dollop cooled compote evenly over top.

Add remaining batter; use a toothpick to gently swirl (4–5 figure-8 motions only).
Bake 25–28 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly fudgy. Cool completely.

4. Glaze & serve:

Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil (30-sec microwave bursts, stirring between).

Drizzle over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry dust if using.
Let set 15 minutes before slicing.
