TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Triple Chocolate Brownies image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 18 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate buttons, chips, or morsels
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate buttons, chips or morsels
Approximately 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Special equipment: Baking tin (approximately 11 1/4 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches), sides and base lined with baking parchment.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
  • In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey. Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes. Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.
  • To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve.

THREE-LAYER BROWNIES



Three-layer Brownies image

One of the few recipes I make using mixes and cans, this is a fantastic dessert. It tastes amazing, looks great, and is amazingly easy. And it disappears almost as quickly as I put it down. I got the recipe from a neighbor after 6 months of begging (and 2 weeks of cat, dog and rabbit sitting). She almost never gave it out because it was her most requested recipe and everyone always thought she worked for hours. Don't substitute regular or fudge for the dark chocolate brownie mix. It makes a difference in the final flavors. And make it the night before so the texture and flavors have time to set.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 45m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (19 1/2 ounce) box dark chocolate brownie mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1 (10 ounce) package peanut butter chips
1 (16 ounce) can prepared cream cheese frosting (You can use your favorite homemade if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Prepare the dark chocolate brownie mix as directed on the package.
  • When they are just done, remove from the oven, sprinkle with the peanut butter chips, cover with a cookie sheet and let sit for 5 minutes; remove cookie sheet and spread melted peanut butter chips over the brownies.
  • Let cool until the peanut butter chips are firm enough to not get messed up when you frost them (put them in the refrigerator for a little while if necessary).
  • When cool, frost with the cream cheese frosting and let sit at room temperature, uncovered, overnight so the flavors blend and the top of the frosting dries to a bit of a crust.
  • Serve at room temperature.
  • This is so good!
  • *NOTE:These ingredients are to be used to prepare the dark chocolate brownie mix; if your mix calls for different amounts, use the package directions.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 9 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chip, divided
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
⅓ cup dark cocoa powder
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup crispy rice cereal
8 oz milk chocolate chips
¾ cup heavy cream, hot
flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Add the butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1½ minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes before whisking until smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and fold to combine with a spatula. Add the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips and fold to incorporate.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely.
  • Make the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the powdered sugar and peanut butter until crumbly. Add the melted butter and mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Scoop the peanut butter filling on top of the cooled brownies and use offset spatula to spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the crispy rice cereal on top. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Make the chocolate ganache: Add the chocolate chips to a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and whisk until the chips are melted and the ganache is smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling. Use offset spatula to spread in an even layer. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.
  • Return the brownies to the freezer until the ganache sets, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the brownies into 9 squares.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final product. Use a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao for the best flavor.
  • Do not 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 the brownies will make them dry. Bake the brownies until the middle is just set to ensure a moist and chewy interior.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will cause them to crumble. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Three-Layer Chocolate Brownies is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion.
