Elevate the classic fudgy brownie with a hint of sea salt and a lavish caramel drizzle using this viral recipe.
Ingredients:
- 147g chocolate (milk or dark, based on preference)
- 85g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 2 large eggs
- 120g light or dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 30g all-purpose flour
- 20g Dutch-process cocoa powder
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 340°F (171°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies later.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. In the bowl, combine the butter, chocolate, and instant coffee. Whisk these together as they melt to form a smooth and velvety mixture.
- In a separate bowl, crack in the two eggs and pour in the brown sugar. Whisk them together until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture becomes slightly foamy.
- With a hand mixer on a medium setting, beat the egg and sugar mixture until it turns creamy and light beige in color.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture with a whisk, taking care not to deflate the air you've incorporated.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and flour, folding them in with a spatula until just combined. Be gentle to keep the batter as light as possible.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. You're aiming for a glossy crust with a soft, fudgy center.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan.
- When the brownies are cool, sprinkle them with flaky sea salt to contrast the sweet richness, then drizzle with your premade caramel sauce for a decadent finish.
Cut into squares and serve. These brownies offer a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and chocolatey flavors, with a fudgy texture that's sure to please any crowd. Enjoy!
