Ingredients:
- 150 grams of butter
- 90 grams of pure dark chocolate, suitable for desserts
- 3 medium eggs
- 150 grams of sugar
- 60 grams of flour
- A pinch of salt
- 40 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder
- Additional 90 grams of pure dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- Pure chocolate chips for topping
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a 16x16 cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the 90 grams of chocolate and butter together in a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water), stirring until smooth and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well integrated. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, continuing to beat until incorporated.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and gently fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or adjust the time depending on your preference for doneness—less time for a more fudgy texture, a bit longer for a firmer texture.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan, then remove and cut into squares.
Enjoy these sumptuously rich brownies, a chocolate-packed treat that promises ultimate satisfaction with every bite!
