Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Beat in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt until the mixture is well combined.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.

For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers gently.

Pour it over the chopped chocolate, letting it sit for a few moments before stirring until smooth.

Pour the velvety ganache over the cooled brownies and top with halved strawberries.

Let the ganache set slightly before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
