How To Make Chocolate Brownies?

Prepare Ingredients

Before getting started, make sure to have these ingredients:

• 185 grams of unsalted butter
• 185 grams of dark chocolate
• 85 grams of plain flour
• 40 grams of cocoa powder
• 50 grams of white chocolate
• 50 grams of milk chocolate
• 3 eggs
• 275 grams of golden caster sugar

Steps To Make Chocolate Brownies

Let’s get started with the following nine steps.

1. Melt Butter And Dark Chocolate

Cut 185g butter into small equal cubes and chop 185g dark chocolate into equal pieces so that both butter and chocolate will melt evenly. Next, drop the butter cubes and the chocolate pieces into a bowl. If the butter is too hard or too cold, take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cutting it.

Melt chocolate and butter by the au-bain-marie method.  Stir the mixture until the chocolate and the butter are combined.

2. Prepare The Egg And Sugar Mix

While waiting for the mixture of butter and chocolate to melt, let’s turn to the rest of the brownie mix.

Break 3 large eggs into a bigger bowl. Whisk the eggs until they create a smooth yellow texture. Add 275g caster sugar to the texture and keep beating. The final texture should look thick, creamy, and pale yellow.

You can use an electric mixer to easily get the thickness you need to make gooey chocolate brownies.

Prepare a bowl of 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder mixed for further use. To avoid lumps, sieve the plain flour and Cocoa powder into a small bowl and shake the sieve gently from left to right.

3. Cool The Butter And Dark Chocolate

Let’s return to the mixture of butter and chocolate. When the chocolate and butter have nearly melted, take the bowl out of the pot or the saucepan. Stir the chocolate mix to get rid of lumps. Let the mix cool to room temperature.

4. Set Out The Milk And White Chocolate

Cut the milk and white chocolate bars into pieces, remember to use 50g of each. It will add flavour, and decorate the chocolate brownie.

5. Prepare The Brownie Tin

It would help if you use a shallow 20cm square tin lined with a square non-stick baking parchment paper. You can cut four corners of the paper, then fold it to cover the tin.

6. Mix The Chocolate With The Eggy Mousse

Pour chilled chocolate mix little by little into the bowl containing the egg mixture. Next, fold the chocolate and egg mousse together with a rubber spatula. Twirl the spatula gently and carefully to get the perfect brown mixture.

7. Add The Flour And Cocoa

Back to a bowl of flour and Cocoa, sift the flour and Cocoa a second time over the brownie mixture. The mixture may get dry at first. Keep on mixing until it gets combined and forms a thick, dark, and sticky mixture.

It’s time to bake the chocolate mixture.

Gently pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Use the rubber spatula to ease the mixture into the corners of the tin, and paddle the surface from side to side to level it.
