Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
If using chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top in thin lines or dollops. Use a knife or skewer to create swirls by dragging it gently through the caramel and batter.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Step 10
Serve on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
