These ultra-fudgy chocolate brownies are rich, dense, and intensely chocolatey, with a luscious ganache swirl on top that takes them over the edge. A decadent treat for serious chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownies:
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • For the Ganache Swirl:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  7. Spoon the ganache over the brownie batter in dollops and use a knife or skewer to swirl it through the top.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid the ganache when testing).
  9. Cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Chill the brownies before slicing for cleaner edges.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
