Decoration Tips:
To elevate these Fudgy Brownies, consider dusting the top with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a simple yet elegant finish. For an added touch of indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top. You can also sprinkle some sea salt flakes on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast. If you’re serving these brownies at a special occasion, cut them into small squares and arrange them on a platter with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. For a more festive look, add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
Ingredients:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 110 g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g brown sugar
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are covered for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or by microwaving in short bursts, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. If using, add the instant coffee powder to this mixture.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher brownies.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft—this will ensure they remain fudgy as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Enjoy!
