Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 175 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 85 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (for ganache)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add 175 grams of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Step 8
Meanwhile, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Step 9
Stir in 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier into the ganache for added flavor. Allow the ganache to cool slightly until it thickens but is still spreadable.
Step 10
Using a round cookie cutter (about 2.5 cm/1 inch in diameter), cut out brownie circles. Top each brownie circle with a dollop of ganache, using a piping bag or spoon, to create a 'kiss' shape.
Step 11
Refrigerate the brownie kisses for 15-20 minutes to set the ganache. Serve and enjoy!
