Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of these dark chocolate brownies, perfect for chocolate lovers and those who enjoy a dense, fudgy treat. This recipe combines the luxurious taste of dark chocolate with a few simple ingredients to create an irresistible dessert that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and completely melted.
Once the chocolate and butter mixture is melted, whisk in the dry cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and smooth.
Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and a dash of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy your rich, dark chocolate brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
Tips:
- For an extra fudgy texture, be sure not to overbake the brownies. They should be slightly undercooked in the center when you remove them from the oven.
- To enhance the chocolate flavor even more, consider adding a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even squares.
- If you like nuts or chocolate chips, fold in 1/2 cup (60g) of your choice before baking for added texture and flavor.
These dark chocolate brownies are a delightful treat that will satisfy any chocolate craving. Whether you enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream or packed in a lunchbox for a midday delight, their rich flavor and fudgy texture make them a favorite. Enjoy your homemade dark chocolate brownies with friends and family!
