Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped rich flavor
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, coarsely chopped adds moisture
- 1/2 cup heavy cream for creaminess
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar sweetness and texture
- 3 large eggs, room temperature binding agent for structure
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract enhances flavor
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour for structure
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda promotes rising
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder helps with texture
- 1/4 teaspoon salt balances sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped baking chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream until fully combined. Mix well until the cream is completely incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
- Mix in the granulated sugar until evenly distributed within the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is glossy and thick.
- Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.
- Blend in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
- Finally, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 25-30 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use quality chocolate and room temperature eggs. Do not overmix the batter.
