Ingredients
Scale
- 115g unsalted butter
- 150g dark chocolate (60%–70% cacao), chopped
- 2 tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 200g granulated sugar
- 100g light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 95g all-purpose flour
- 100g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together over low heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until smooth, then let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt for 5 to 7 minutes until thick, pale, and ribbon-like.
- Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs until combined. Sift in the flour and gently fold until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out, slicing into 16 squares, and serving.
Notes
Do not overmix after adding the flour to preserve the fudgy texture. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean slices and the perfect chewy consistency.
