Double Fudge Ganache Brownies - a brownie is held up to the camera above the batch.

Double Fudge Ganache Brownies

These bring together two of my absolute favourite things: rich and Fudgy Brownies with chocolate ganache. Ganache, very simply, is a mixture made up of chocolate and cream. You heat the cream up, then pour over chopped chocolate and stir until you end up with a glossy thick mixture that is just dreamy! Pouring this over the brownies results in a decadent chocolate lover's paradise!

Ingredients

  • 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 2 Medium Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 85 g Plain Flour
  • 30 g Cocoa Powder
  • 150 g Milk Chocolate Roughly Chopped

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 200 g Dark Chocolate Roughly Chopped (to about 2/3cm)
  • 300 ml Double Cream (Heavy Cream)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a 8″ square baking tin with greaseproof paper. 
  • Melt the dark chocolate by breaking up into small pieces in a bowl and heating for 30 second intervals in a microwave, stirring in between. Set aside to cool whilst making the brownies.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer combine the melted butter, and both the brown and granulated sugars on a medium speed until totally combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again. Then check that the chocolate has cooled a little before adding in and combining. Add in the flour and cocoa powder and fold together.
  • Pour into the tin. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and let cool.

For the Ganache

  • Chop the chocolate to fairly small pieces - this doesn't need to be too specific! Put into a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan over a low/medium flame. Keep stirring until the cream comes to the boil. Immediately turn off the heat and pour the cream into the bowl with the chocolate. Let rest 1 minute before stirring until the mixture comes together to form a glossy/rich consistency. Let rest 5 minutes then pour and spread over brownies.
  • Put brownies in fridge to firm up for about 45 minutes, then slice and serve!
