Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate (for ganache)
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- Fleur de sel (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the semisweet chocolate and butter over low heat until smooth.
- Remove from heat; stir in granulated and brown sugars until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely before cutting into small squares or rectangles for petit fours.
- For ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Coat each brownie square with ganache and sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. Allow to set before serving.
