Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies
There are so many national food-related holidays that some of them are just not believable. Some of them make sense, while others, I have no idea about. Well, while I was driving home today, I heard it was national "eat what you want" day. Hey, that's my daily existence, but if others need a national holiday to partake, then so be it. I figure since there's a holiday promoting the idea of free eating, there's now an excuse to indulge.
When I was trying to decide what I wanted to indulge in, it was a pretty easy decision. I decided to make brownies, which by themselves may seem harmless. But, you're mistaken. When I do things, I kind of go crazy with it. I decided to make these brownies...triple chocolate fudge brownies. Yes, that's right. Triple chocolate fudge. These are immensely rich, but the government says it's okay to indulge today, so we have no reason to feel guilty.
How to make Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies
- First, start by melting the butter and chopped chocolate.
- Add in the cocoa powder and instant coffee and mix until combined.
- Set aside and let the mixture cool. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and mix until combined.
- Dump in the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to fold until just combined.
- Pour your batter into the prepared square pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- You can optionally top with a ganache glaze. I make mine with half heavy cream, half chocolate, a pinch of salt, a pinch of instant coffee and some vanilla.
- Scald the heavy cream and pour over the chocolate. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and let it sit for about five minutes. Stir until combined and pour over the top of the cooled brownies.
- Cover and cool in the freezer overnight.
- Use a chef's knife and a tall container of hot water, along with a clean towel to cut the edges off, score the bars and cut them.
