Chocolate Ganache Brownie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 and 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/4 cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Sift in 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Allow the ganache to set at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once the ganache is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
