These decadent chocolate-covered strawberry pie squares combine a flaky buttery crust, juicy strawberry filling, and a luscious chocolate drizzle for a quick and easy homemade dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Lightly flour work surface and roll chilled dough into a 10-inch square. Transfer to 9×9-inch baking dish, pressing into corners. Trim excess edges and prick bottom with fork.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 15 minutes, remove weights and parchment, bake another 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Pour strawberry mixture over baked crust, spreading evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes until filling is bubbling and thickened.
  7. Melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  8. Remove pie from oven and cool 15 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate evenly over top. Let set at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Keep butter and cream cold for a flaky crust. Blind bake crust to prevent sogginess. Melt chocolate in short bursts to avoid burning. Chill pie if filling is too runny after baking. Use gentle mixing to avoid crushing berries.
