THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES



The Best Fudgy Brownies image

We've created the perfect brownie by employing a few tips and tricks. Using both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder gives us the deep and complex chocolate flavor we crave. Cooking the butter until golden brown adds a toasted nuttiness, while the pop of cream provides luscious texture.

Time 4h30m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick baking spray
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (64-percent cacao), chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla paste or extract
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
6 large eggs, chilled

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
  • Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
  • Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

  • In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
  • Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
  • Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach provides the best flavor and texture for these brownies.
  • Blanch the spinach: Blanching the spinach helps to remove the bitterness and retain its vibrant green color.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of the brownies. Choose a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dry brownies. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
