Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams dark chocolate (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few fudgy crumbs.
While the brownies cool, prepare the glaze by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming (do not boil). Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Once the glaze is firm, slice the brownies into 12 squares. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.
