Ingredients:
For the Brownie:
- 250g dark chocolate
- 200g unsalted butter
- 150g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200g all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
For the Ganache:
- 250g milk chocolate
- 250ml heavy cream
- 50g unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt
Method:
Brownies:
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in the microwave, using 30-second intervals and stirring in between, until completely smooth.
- Stir in the sugar and eggs quickly to the melted chocolate mixture to maintain a smooth consistency. Then mix in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a lined 20x20 cm baking tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 20 minutes, or until the center is just set but still has a slight wobble. Allow to cool in the fridge.
Ganache: 4. Heat the heavy cream until it is just about to boil, then pour it over the milk chocolate and butter in a bowl. Blend using an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the ganache.
- Before serving, sprinkle a light dusting of sea salt over the ganache.
Enjoy these decadent fudgy brownies, a perfect treat for any time you crave a rich, chocolatey dessert!
