Decadent Chocolate Brownies


 

Ingredients:

  • Semi-sweet dark chocolate coins: 250g
  • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup 
  • Caster sugar: 1 cup 
  • Brown sugar: 1/2 cup 
  • Large eggs: 3
  • Salt: 1/4 tsp
  • Vanilla essence: 1 tsp
  • All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup 
  • Cocoa powder: 1/4 cup 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F .
    • Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) brownie pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:

    • In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet dark chocolate coins and unsalted butter.
    • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), making sure the bowl does not touch the water.
    • Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
    • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Combine Sugars and Eggs:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the caster sugar and brown sugar.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Stir in the vanilla essence and salt.
  4. Incorporate the Chocolate Mixture:

    • Gradually add the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture.
    • Mix until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients:

    • Sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder together to remove any lumps.
    • Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Bake the Brownies:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
    • Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. Decorate and Serve:

    • Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
    • Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and garnish with fresh fruits of your choice.
    • Cut into squares and serve.

Enjoy your rich and fudgy brownies!
