Ingredients
- 200 g 85% Dark chocolate (7oz)
- 180 g Salted butter (¾ cup)
- 300 g Caster sugar (1+½ cups)
- 3 Medium Eggs
- 120 g Plain flour (1 cup)
- ½ Teaspoon Espresso powder (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 100 g Chocolate chips (⅔ cup) I used a mix of white and milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C/320°F (or 140°C/285°F for fan ovens) and line an 8x8-inch tin with baking paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and the butter together over low heat on the stove then set aside to cool for around 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar and eggs to a large bowl. Using an electric whisk, whisk for a few minutes. The mixture should look pale and silky and doubled in size.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the sugar and eggs then gently fold them together.
- Add the flour, espresso powder and cocoa powder then mix gently until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the mixture to your lined tin and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for around 30-35 minutes until the brownies have risen and are pulling away from the tin slightly.
- Let the brownie cool to room temperature then transfer to the fridge overnight to set.
- Once set, remove from the tin, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
