For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter. The brownie scraps can be used as toppings for ice cream, blended into milkshakes, or enjoyed as a quick snack. If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, use bittersweet chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage for both the brownies and the ganache.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, ensuring it overhangs the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan over low heat, combine dark chocolate morsels, sugar, butter, and water. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. (10 minutes)
03
StepWhisk in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. (3 minutes)
04
StepGently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. (35 minutes)
07
StepCool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the foil overhang to lift the brownie from the pan onto a cutting board. Carefully peel away the foil. (20 minutes cooling)
08
StepUsing the 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 15 brownie cakes. Gently twist the cutter to ensure clean cuts. For easier cutting, wipe the cutter clean between cuts if needed. (15 minutes)
09
StepFor the Dark Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30-40 seconds, or until steaming but not boiling. (1 minute)
10
StepSlowly add the dark chocolate morsels to the hot cream. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the heat to melt the chocolate. (5 minutes)
11
StepRemove the plastic wrap and stir the ganache gently until smooth and glossy. (2 minutes)
12
StepSpoon or pipe the dark chocolate ganache over the brownie cakes. Refrigerate any remaining ganache for later use. (10 minutes)

Apr 25, 2025My brownies were a little dry. I think I overbaked them slightly, so I will adjust the time next time.
