The viral brownies that literally started it all! To the hundreds of you who have made these brownies around the world, I love you, you’re forever special to me!
Servings: 16 brownies in a 9” pan
Ingredients:
1 oz semi sweet chocolate (28g)
3 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa) (85g)
10 tbsp unsalted butter (140g)
3/4 cup sugar (170g)
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp instant coffee mixed with 1 tbsp hot water
1/2 cup all purpose flour (65g)
1/3 cup cocoa powder (best to use Dutch processed) (35g)
3/4 tsp salt
2 oz chocolate chips or chopped chocolate of choice (I mix milk and semi) (57g)
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 335F and line a 9” baking pan
Melt the butter, 1 oz semi sweet and 3 oz dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, using 20 second increments in the microwave and stirring in between. Don’t overheat this mix
In the meanwhile, whisk eggs and sugar on a standing mixer at medium-high speed until you achieve a light, thick & ribbony mixture
Pour the chocolate & butter mix into the eggs and sugar and fold in gently
Mix the instant coffee with hot water, and pour in. Gently fold
Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt, fold in
Lastly, add 2 oz chocolate chips and fold
Pour the batter into the lined pan. Add more chocolate on top if you’d like
Bake for 20-25 min
Let cool, cut & serve!!
Notes:
Quality ingredients are key to getting the best brownies! I use @valrhonausa or @lindt_usa chocolate (you can use other good quality brands) and Valrhona Dutch processed cocoa powder
Don’t skip the coffee! It really amplifies the chocolate flavor
Take care not to overbake your brownies. Time can vary based on ovens, so you want to bring them out when they’re not completely liquid but they still have a jiggle & a toothpick comes out with slightly wet crumbs attached
