Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 pinch Sea salt flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from the heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully dissolved.

Step 3

Let the sugar and butter mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.

Step 7

While the brownies cool, make the ganache. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not let it boil).

Step 8

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then, whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread.

Step 9

Once the brownies have cooled, spread the ganache evenly over the top. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the ganache to set.

Step 10

Prepare the fudge topping. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and remaining butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar until combined.

Step 11

Spread the fudge layer over the set ganache. Sprinkle the sea salt flakes (if using) on top for a final touch of flavor.

Step 12

Chill the finished dessert for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the rich, multi-layered chocolate experience!
