  • 3 large Eggs Room temperature eggs yield the best results.
  • 1½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be used.
  • ¾ cup Cocoa Powder Dutch-process cocoa offers richer color and taste.
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan thoroughly.
  2. Melt the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 15-second intervals.
  3. Whisk in both sugars into the melted mixture until shiny and thick. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then fold in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, gently folding until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan, about 30-45 minutes.
  8. Prepare ganache by heating heavy whipping cream until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
  9. Cut cooled brownies into small squares and dip each into the ganache, allowing excess to drip off.
  10. Sprinkle fleur de sel on top while ganache is wet and allow to set before serving.
