Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams dark chocolate (finely chopped, for ganache)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in both the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes glossy.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 7
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 8
While the brownies cool, make the ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not let it boil).
Step 9
Pour the hot cream over the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and shiny.
Step 10
Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies using an offset spatula. Allow the ganache to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Step 11
Once the ganache has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
