Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate
- 150g butter
- 250g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 100g chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 200g of dark chocolate and 150g of butter together over low heat. Stir frequently until both are completely melted and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 250g of sugar with the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir well until the sugar is fully incorporated.
- Add the 3 eggs to the chocolate mixture, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 100g of all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp of salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until you see no more flour streaks.
- If desired, fold in the 100g of chocolate chips to add extra chocolatey goodness to your brownies.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter). Be cautious not to overbake, as this will result in dry brownies.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your rich and fudgy ganache dark brownies!
Tips
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. The richer the chocolate, the more intense the brownie will be!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until no flour streaks are visible. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your brownies as they bake. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for that perfect fudgy consistency.
- Cool Completely: Allow your brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them. This helps them set and makes for cleaner, more appealing squares.
- Add a Twist: Feel free to customize your brownies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor kick!
