DARK CHOCOLATE-CHUNK BROWNIES



Dark Chocolate-Chunk Brownies image

Thse are decadent pieces of heaven! "Michael Recchiuti, a San Francisco chocolate visionary, prefers to make these moist brownies with a distinct chocolate, such as a 64% dark chocolate blend. Serve with lightly sweetend softly whipped cream, chopped mint and fresh raspberries; or crown pieces with vanilla or coffee ice cream and drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce." I didn't allow for cooling time of about an hour. Sunset Magazine, 01/2007

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (no substitutions)
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Chop chocolate into about 1/2-inch chunks; about 2 cups.
  • In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine half the chocolate and the butter.
  • Heat in a microwave oven on half-power (50%) just until chocolate is soft and butter is melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Let stand until just warm to touch.
  • In a bowl, with a wooden spoon, beat eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add chocolate mixture and stir until well blended.
  • Add flour, about a third at a time, stirring after each addition just until blended.
  • Add remaining chopped chocolate and mix just until chunks are evenly distributed.
  • Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking parchment, draping over rim a little.
  • Scrape batter into pan; spread level.
  • Bake in a 325°F oven just until the surface develops a thin crust (like the delicate layer of ice that forms on freezing water) and a fingertip pressed very gently in the center leaves a soft impression, 20 to 25 minutes; take care not to overbake.
  • Cool completely in pan on a rack, at least 1 hour.
  • Lift brownie out on parchment, peel off parchment, and set brownie on a board.
  • Cut into 8 squares or wedges or 16 triangles.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES



Molten Chocolate Chunk Brownies image

If you're not serving the brownie warm, let it cool in the tin, then turn out and slice into squares. It'll continue to set in the tin, but stay soft and fudgy in the center. The two types of sugar in these brownies work their magic in different ways. Caster sugar lends sweetness and helps create a smooth and crispy top. Brown sugar adds to the rich, moist center.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES WITH SWEET CREAM CHEESE DRIZZLE



Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies With Sweet Cream Cheese Drizzle image

My family was tired of dried out store bought brownie mixes. When my co-worker brought these into work one afternoon, I had to get the recipe. We tweaked a few things to suit our tastes and this is what we got. We'll never go back to mixes again! You're going to want a tall glass of milk with these!

Provided by lexandlil1022

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 20-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 (10 ounce) bag dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon flour (to toss the chocolate chips in)
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Stir in sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl sift the flour and cocoa together three times. Then add the sifted flour and cocoa to the sugar mixture. Mix well.
  • In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips in a Tbsp of flour, until they are lightly coated. This helps the chocolate chips suspend evenly throughout the batter instead of sinking to the bottom of the brownies. Once coated, add the chocolate chips to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of brownies comes out clean.
  • Mix softened cream cheese and milk with fork until smooth. Add powdered sugar until smooth and glossy. Drizzle over cooled brownies.

1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 5/8 sticks unsalted butter (10 1/2 ounces), cut into small pieces
7 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups (10 ounces) white- or milk-chocolate chunks
