Ingredients
Ingredients
granulated sugar
3/4 cup (measured)
butter
1/3 cup (unsalted, cubed)
bittersweet chocolate
8 ounces (chopped)
eggs
2 (large, at room temperature)
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (pure)
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (sifted)
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (measured)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (measured)
white chocolate
4 ounces (chopped)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9-inch square metal cake pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the granulated sugar, cubed butter, and 2 tablespoons of water. Bring this mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Once the mixture has reached a boil, remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in half of the chopped bittersweet chocolate until it has completely melted. Allow this mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
4
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
6
Finally, stir in the remaining chopped bittersweet chocolate and the chopped white chocolate until evenly distributed.
7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
8
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares to serve.
