Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (90 g) dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
  • ½ cup (90 g) milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (full-fat)
  • 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter, room temperature (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 45 seconds or until fully melted. Stir in the granulated sugar while the butter is still warm.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well with a whisk until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dark, milk, and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. While the brownies bake, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
  8. Once the brownies are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before spreading the ganache evenly over the top.
  9. Allow the ganache to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if desired.
  10. Slice and serve using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Chop chocolate finely for smooth ganache. Let brownies cool before spreading ganache to avoid melting. For extra shine, add butter to ganache. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on ganache before it sets for contrast. Ganache can be made ahead and warmed gently before use.
