Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Mint extract
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and chopped dark chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mint extract to the egg mixture.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tart pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the tart cool completely in the pan.
While the tart is cooling, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie tart, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
Once the ganache is firm, remove the tart from the pan and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve!
