Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 150g sugar
- 150g butter
- 180g chocolate, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60g all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 40g unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate chips for decorating
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
- Combine 90g of chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy. This aerates the batter, giving the brownies their signature texture.
- Gradually mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.
- Dry Ingredients:
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold this into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix and deflate the batter.
- Add Chocolate and Bake:
- Chop the remaining 90g of chocolate into small chunks and fold into the batter along with a handful of chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into a mini muffin tin lined with paper cups or greased well. Sprinkle the tops with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the brownies set and makes them easier to handle.
Enjoy these Decadent Mini Chocolate Chip Brownies as a delightful treat that brings joy and a touch of luxury to your dessert table, making any ordinary day feel like a special occasion.
