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.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for baking pan
1/4 cup black beans, rinsed, drained, and pureed until completely smooth
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (1/3 cup)
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, bean puree, and chocolates and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in sugar, eggs and egg white, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir into chocolate mixture until just combined. Pour batter into pan; smooth top. Bake until top is cracked and a toothpick inserted in center has moist crumbs attached, about 25 minutes (center will seem undercooked but will set further as it cools). Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Using parchment, lift brownie from pan and cut into 16 squares.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 54

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 sticks unsalted butter, cubed, plus more, softened, for sheet
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces roasted unsalted nuts, such as peanuts, pecans, or walnuts, coarsely chopped (1 2/3 cups)
6 ounces dried fruits, such as raisins, currants, or cherries (1 1/4 cups)
4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt butter with 10 ounces (2 cups) bittersweet chocolate. Remove from heat; stir until smooth. Let cool 5 minutes. Add both sugars, eggs, and vanilla and beat on medium speed, or whisk vigorously by hand, until thickened slightly and glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in two-thirds of nuts and dried fruits.
  • Transfer batter to prepared sheet, spreading evenly to edges. Sprinkle evenly with white chocolate and remaining nuts, dried fruits, and 1 cup bittersweet chocolate. Gently press toppings into batter with flattened palms.
  • Bake until edges are puffed and just set but center is still wobbly, 20 to 23 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. Cut lengthwise into thirds, then crosswise into 1-inch-thick rectangles. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days, or stacked between layers of parchment in a freezer bag and frozen up to 1 month. (Thaw at room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect fudgy texture, it's crucial to use high-quality chocolate. A combination of semisweet and unsweetened chocolate is recommended for a balanced flavor and richness.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • Use a metal baking pan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent overcooking the edges of the brownies.
  • To test if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are ready. Avoid overbaking as it can dry them out.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will prevent them from falling apart and crumbling.
  • For an extra decadent touch, top the brownies with a ganache made from melted chocolate and cream. You can also sprinkle chopped nuts, sea salt, or drizzle caramel sauce for added flavor.

Conclusion:

Triple chocolate brownies are a classic dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and the fudgy texture that everyone loves. By following the tips and using quality ingredients, you can create a delicious and decadent treat that will satisfy any chocolate craving. Remember to experiment with different chocolate combinations and toppings to find your perfect match. Whether you prefer them warm and gooey or chilled and firm, these triple chocolate brownies are sure to be a hit with friends and family alike!
