this brownie looked and sounded so good and was different from the regular brownies that I thought I would share the recipe... the recipe and photo are from Joy of Baking Ingredients:
4 ounces (120 grams) unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar |
1 teaspoon |
pure vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
chocolate ganache |
3 ounces (90 grams) semi sweet chocolate, chopped |
1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven
2. to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Butter, or spray with a non stick vegetable spray, an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan.
3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a large stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour and salt.
4. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
5. Chocolate Ganache
6. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized stainless steel bowl. Heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk or spoon until smooth. Let cool to room temperature and then spread the ganache over the brownies. I like to store these brownies in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen.
7. Makes 16 brownies.
