ULTIMATE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Ultimate Double Chocolate Brownies image

RICH, chocolately, yummy brownies! NOT for the faint of heart. The best one I've ever made, and I am a devout chocoholic. Mine never pull away from the sides of the pan like the recipe says. Be sure to test it with a toothpick in more than one place, because you might run into a chocolate chip that would make it appear that the brownies aren't done yet.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons for buttering the baking dish
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 teaspoon butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper in a strip to line the bottom and 2 sides of the dish. Butter the paper with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and set aside.
  • Place the unsweetened chocolate and 8 tablespoons butter in a medium heat-proof bowl that fits comfortably over a saucepan filled with 1 inch water. Place the double-boiler over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until the chocolate and butter are just barely melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to stir for 1 minute to cool slightly. The mixture should be warm to the touch, not hot.
  • Using a hand-held mixer, beat the sugar, vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the eggs and yolk all at once and beat until fully incorporated and smooth. Fold in the flour and semisweet chocolate chips with a silicone spatula until just barely combined; a few streaks are fine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack until just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Do not overbake. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into 16 small pieces.

5 ounces 85% dark chocolate, chopped
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch ground cinnamon

1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These double chocolate surprise brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are fudgy, moist, and packed with rich chocolate flavor. The surprise chocolate ganache filling takes them over the top. These brownies are sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
