Chocolate ganache brownies are indulgent and decadent. Here’s a recipe to make delicious brownies topped with smooth chocolate ganache.

Chocolate Brownies:

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2. 1 cup granulated sugar
3. 2 large eggs
4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5. 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
7. 1/4 teaspoon salt
8. 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1. 8 oz (about 1 cup) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2. 1 cup heavy cream
3. Optional: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for extra shine)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Allow to cool in the pan.

Chocolate Ganache:

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it come to a full boil.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
4. Begin to stir the mixture, starting in the center and working your way outward, until it becomes smooth.
5. If you’re using butter for extra shine, add it now and mix until melted and fully combined.
6. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
7. Allow the ganache to set before serving. This might take a few hours at room temperature or quicker if you place it in the refrigerator.

Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness!
