Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh strawberries in the brownie mixture?
It’s not recommended because fresh strawberries release moisture and can prevent the brownies from setting properly. Freeze-dried strawberry powder provides concentrated flavor without adding extra liquid.
Where can I buy freeze-dried strawberry powder?
You can find it online, in baking supply stores, or make your own by blending freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, but the brownies will have a different flavor and won’t have their signature pink color.
Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
Yes. Simply use gluten-free digestive biscuits or gluten-free graham crackers.
How long do they last?
Stored properly in the refrigerator, they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days, or up to 2 months in the freezer.
