Description
Molten, glossy and impossibly fudgy, these flourless chocolate brownies melt on the tongue and deliver deep cocoa flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate (60–72% cacao)
- 115 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (about 150 g without shell)
- 30 g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) fine sea salt
- Optional: 1/2 tsp (2 g) espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) pan with parchment.
- Chop dark chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl with unsalted butter. Melt over simmering water or in the microwave, then cool to warm.
- Whisk granulated sugar and eggs in a separate bowl until glossy and slightly thickened. Add vanilla and salt.
- Pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mix while whisking constantly until smooth.
- Sift in cocoa powder and fold gently until no streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 22–26 minutes, checking at 20 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
To ensure a glossy top, let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes before baking. Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
