Instructions:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Chop the dark chocolate and walnuts if they are not pre-chopped.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter.
- Microwave on medium power for 1 minute. Stir the mixture, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth.

- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

- Gradually fold in the all-purpose white wheat flour until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the brownie batter into a microwave-safe dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Tap the dish lightly on the counter to eliminate air bubbles.
- Microwave on high power for 4-5 minutes. Start checking for doneness at around 4 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not raw batter), the brownies are done. Microwave times may vary depending on your microwave wattage.
- While the brownies are cooking, pour the heavy whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl.
- Whip the cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Once the brownies are done, remove the dish from the microwave and let it cool slightly.
- Serve each portion of brownie with a dollop of the freshly whipped cream.
- If you want to add a hint of Baileys flavor, you can fold a tablespoon or two of Baileys Irish Cream into the whipped cream before serving.
