The combination of melted chocolate, butter, and cocoa powder creates a multi-layered chocolate flavor that’s balanced and delicious. Adding chocolate chunks into the batter gives the brownies an extra level of richness, and when they melt, they create a smooth, gooey interior. This recipe is simple, using only basic ingredients, and requires minimal effort, but the result is a batch of brownies that’s incredibly luxurious and satisfying.
Perfect Occasion
These fudgy brownies are perfect for any chocolate lover’s dream dessert, making them a great choice for family gatherings, birthdays, or potlucks. They’re also ideal for satisfying a late-night chocolate craving or as a sweet ending to a cozy meal. If you’re hosting a dinner party, these brownies will be a hit served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. These brownies are also great for gifting, as they stay moist and delicious for days, making them an excellent treat to share with friends and loved ones.
Decoration Tips
For a beautiful presentation, dust the brownies with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar once they’ve cooled, adding a bit of elegance to the rich, dark chocolate surface. You can also drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the top for a decadent finish. To take it a step further, garnish each brownie piece with a few chocolate curls or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the sweetness and add a gourmet touch. If serving at a party, consider topping each brownie square with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 113 grams chopped chocolate, melted and cooled
- 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (255 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (94 grams)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25 grams)
- 100 grams chopped chocolate (for extra richness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is creamy and fully incorporated.
- Pour in the cooled, melted chocolate, and stir until evenly mixed.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, mixing gently until just combined—do not overmix, as this will help keep the brownies fudgy.
- Fold in the additional 100 grams of chopped chocolate, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes at 180°C (356°F) or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly soft but not jiggly.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for the best texture.
Enjoy!
