Chocolate Ganache Brownies
The quest for the best brownies recipe is a pretty common long-time search for many a baker. I’ve tried many recipes over the past 30 years in the kitchen but this is definitely the best one I’ve made. If you are careful not to over bake them, you might just agree. My version of the Best Brownies is soft, moist, and triple fudgy with added chocolate chips and an easy chocolate ganache glaze.
If you have chocoholics coming for dinner serve these warm from the oven with some warm chocolate ganache spilling over the top for the ultimate chocolate dessert.
We have also featured a mini version of these gorgeous, rich, fudgy brownies atop an amazing creamy cheesecake. Find our Brownie Cheesecake recipe here.
The Best Brownies
The Best Brownies - looking for the best brownies recipe can be an unending task. This recipe concentrates on method as well as quality ingredients to achieve perfect brownies.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp good quality cocoa
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 5 squares, 5 oz unsweetened chocolate or high cocoa content chocolate (over 70% cocoa)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 cups ssemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Sift together flour, cocoa and salt.
Melt together butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
Add eggs,vanilla and sugars. Stir very well until sugars are dissolved.
Gently fold in dry ingredients and chocolate chips.
Pour batter into a 9 inch square baking pan that has been greased and lined with parchment paper. Bake for about a half hour at 350 degrees F or until the surface of the center of the brownies appears dry and firm. Toothpick test will not work for this recipe but it will tell you if the middle is still liquid. Do not over bake these brownies or they will be dry rather than moist and chewy.
Cut into squares when completely cool and frost individually with chocolate ganache.
TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Scald the whipping cream to almost boiling.
Pour over the chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat and stir until smooth with all the chocolate chips melted.
Cool slightly before frosting the brownies.

Is the brownie on the fudgy side or the cake side in texture?
