Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 300 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams light brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 75 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 56 grams unsalted butter (for icing)
• 30 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder (for icing)
• 60 ml milk
• 200 grams powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding together until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the brownies cool, prepare the fudge icing. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 11

Whisk in the Dutch-process cocoa powder until smooth. Add the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.

Step 12

Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth and glossy.

Step 13

Stir in the vanilla extract and let the icing cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.

Step 14

Spread the fudge icing evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the icing set for about 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 15

Serve and enjoy your rich, fudgy Dutch cocoa brownies with fudge icing!
