Fudgy Brownies!

Posted by Jasmine at 11:27 AM

 I  found an interesting brownie recipe on cookiemadness.net, but its originally from Gourmet magazine.  They were really good, but very very very dense...I usually dont have that much trouble finishing one brownie, but these were actually somewhat challenging because they are so rich. However, this is a really easy recipe to make really impressive brownies:  

Deep Dark Chocolate Brownies with 1:1 Ganache frosting

16 oz unsalted butter

8 oz bittersweet/dark chocolate, chopped

2 cups granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

5 large eggs

1/3 cup unsweetened dutch-processed cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 AP flour

1. melt butter & chocolate in a pan over low heat, mix in 1 cup sugar, then remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl, and allow to cool before proceeding

2. mix in remaining 1 cup sugar and the vanilla extract

3. combine all the eggs in a separate small bowl, then break up eggs with a fork, then gradually add the eggs

4. mix in flour and salt, until incorporated well

5. bake at 350* F, for about 30 min if using a 13x9" pan

6. remove from oven and immediately place in the refrigerator to cool completely (putting them in the refrigerator expedites the cooling processes and keeps the brownies very "fudgy")

7. make sure the brownies and very cold before attempting to cut them, this helps acheive those clean cut brownies you see in bakeries - come bakeries even place the brownies (in the pan) in the freezer to get really cold before cutting them

   Great blog you've started! I'm so envious that you are in pastry school, I have been seriously thinking about going sometime in the near future. I'm an engineer now so it would definitely be total career move, but it have to be night school transition...who knows :)
