Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process preferred)

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Ganache Topping:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 4 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

  • Melt butter and chopped chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick and pale.

  • Stir in melted chocolate mixture.

  • Sift in cocoa, flour, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.

  • Pour into pan and bake for 28–32 minutes. Cool completely.

  • Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit, then stir until smooth. Add butter for extra gloss.

  • Spread ganache over cooled brownies. Chill until set.

  • Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.

Notes

Try adding espresso powder to deepen chocolate flavor. Substitute coconut cream for dairy-free ganache. Store refrigerated for 5 days or freeze.
