DARK CHOCOLATE-CHUNK BROWNIES

Thse are decadent pieces of heaven! "Michael Recchiuti, a San Francisco chocolate visionary, prefers to make these moist brownies with a distinct chocolate, such as a 64% dark chocolate blend. Serve with lightly sweetend softly whipped cream, chopped mint and fresh raspberries; or crown pieces with vanilla or coffee ice cream and drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce." I didn't allow for cooling time of about an hour. Sunset Magazine, 01/2007

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (no substitutions)
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Chop chocolate into about 1/2-inch chunks; about 2 cups.
  • In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine half the chocolate and the butter.
  • Heat in a microwave oven on half-power (50%) just until chocolate is soft and butter is melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Let stand until just warm to touch.
  • In a bowl, with a wooden spoon, beat eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add chocolate mixture and stir until well blended.
  • Add flour, about a third at a time, stirring after each addition just until blended.
  • Add remaining chopped chocolate and mix just until chunks are evenly distributed.
  • Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking parchment, draping over rim a little.
  • Scrape batter into pan; spread level.
  • Bake in a 325°F oven just until the surface develops a thin crust (like the delicate layer of ice that forms on freezing water) and a fingertip pressed very gently in the center leaves a soft impression, 20 to 25 minutes; take care not to overbake.
  • Cool completely in pan on a rack, at least 1 hour.
  • Lift brownie out on parchment, peel off parchment, and set brownie on a board.
  • Cut into 8 squares or wedges or 16 triangles.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES

If you're not serving the brownie warm, let it cool in the tin, then turn out and slice into squares. It'll continue to set in the tin, but stay soft and fudgy in the center. The two types of sugar in these brownies work their magic in different ways. Caster sugar lends sweetness and helps create a smooth and crispy top. Brown sugar adds to the rich, moist center.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (150g) plain (all-purpose) flour
3/4 cup (75g) cocoa
3/4 cup (130g) brown sugar
1 1/3 cups (290g) caster (superfine) sugar
175g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
125g dark chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the flour, cocoa, both the sugars, the butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Add the chocolate and stir to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
  • Lightly grease a 20cm square tin and line with non-stick baking paper.
  • Spread the mixture into the tin.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until the brownie is set.
  • Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm, or allow to cool completely in the tin.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your brownies. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make your brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and keep their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
