Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
If using chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top in thin lines or dollops. Use a knife or skewer to create swirls by dragging it gently through the caramel and batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
