Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for fan ovens, or Gas Mark 6). Line an 8-inch square pan with greaseproof paper.
- In a small bowl, break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars for 3-5 minutes until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition for a smooth consistency.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add melted chocolate to the mixture, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Sift in flour and cocoa powder, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in chopped white and milk chocolates until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Pour brownie batter into the lined pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges look set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Notes
For best results, use quality chocolate and avoid over-mixing to keep brownies fudgy. Consider variations like adding nuts or a caramel swirl.
