How to Make Ultra Fudgy Brownies
Making Ultra Fudgy Brownies is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to bake your delicious batch of brownies.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, then gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate ganache, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
How to Serve Ultra Fudgy Brownies
These brownies are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them in various ways. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a special touch, consider dusting them with powdered sugar or serving them warm right from the oven.
How to Store Ultra Fudgy Brownies
To keep your brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If stored properly, they can last for up to a week. You can also freeze them! Wrap individual brownies in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When you want to enjoy one, simply take it out and let it thaw at room temperature.
Tips to Make Ultra Fudgy Brownies
- Make sure not to overmix the batter. Folding in the dry ingredients gently keeps the brownies fudgy and moist.
- Using high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips can enhance the flavor and richness of the brownies.
- If you prefer even fudgier brownies, bake them for a shorter time, just be sure to keep an eye on them.
Variation
Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch and flavor. You can also swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or caramel chips for a different taste.
