Description

These rich and fudgy chocolate brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces or 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Vanilla ice cream or Homemade Whipped Cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Have two 6-ounce ramekins ready.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, stirring often so it doesn’t burn.
  3. Remove from the heat and whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, and salt (batter will be a little grainy).
  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla. Batter should smooth out.
  5. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir in the flour until moistened (do not overmix).
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two ramekins. Place 1 teaspoon chocolate chips into the middle of each brownie; press the chips lightly into the batter.
  7. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the tops look dry and crisp (they will still be bubbly but the tops should be firm).
  8. Let cool for 15 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
