Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
Chocolate Components:
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter
Seasoning and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a pie plate or springform pan with non-stick spray.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler, stirring consistently until glossy and uniform. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whip eggs with sugar and vanilla using an electric mixer, transforming the mixture into a light, airy consistency with soft peaks forming after approximately 3 minutes.
- Carefully fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring thorough but gentle incorporation to maintain the mixture’s delicate texture.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the chocolate-egg blend, folding delicately until ingredients are just combined. Distribute remaining chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the velvety batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the surface develops elegant cracks and the center puffs slightly, approximately 35-40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely, which helps set the gooey interior. For maximum indulgence, drizzle warm hot fudge over each slice before serving.
Notes
- Melt chocolate slowly and gently to prevent burning, which can make brownies taste bitter and affect the smooth texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter after adding flour to keep the brownies fudgy and prevent developing tough gluten networks.
- Swap wheat flour with almond or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the rich chocolate flavor.
- Let the chocolate-butter mixture cool slightly before combining with eggs to prevent accidentally scrambling the eggs and ensure a silky smooth consistency.
