Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 225 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters caramel sauce
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until the batter is thick and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not 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 with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before removing them using the parchment paper overhang.
While the brownies cool, prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the dark chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Slice the cooled brownies into 12 squares or rectangles.
Drizzle caramel sauce over each brownie, spreading lightly with the back of a spoon.
Spoon or drizzle the chocolate ganache on top of the caramel layer.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over each brownie as the final topping.
Allow the toppings to set for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Super Fudgy Three Way Topped Brownies!
