Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 150 grams brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 60 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams dark chocolate (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the bowl. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few fudgy crumbs.

Step 7

While the brownies cool, prepare the glaze by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming (do not boil). Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

Once the glaze is firm, slice the brownies into 12 squares. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.
