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 Method

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)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a 8″ square baking tin with greaseproof paper. 
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour into the tin. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and let cool.
For the Ganache
  1. Chop the chocolate to fairly small pieces - this doesn't need to be too specific! Put into a heatproof bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. Put brownies in fridge to firm up for about 45 minutes, then slice and serve!
