Ingredient notes

  • Butter: 260g is about 2 1/4 sticks.
  • Chocolate: Use chocolate with 50-70% cocoa for the best flavor.
  • Coffee: You can adjust the coffee to 1 or 2 tbsp based on your preference.
  • Flour: 150g is approximately 1 cup + 2 tbsp.
  • Cocoa Powder: 30g is about 3 tbsp.

Tips from Emma's Goodies's video

  • Melt the butter and chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave, leaving a few chunks of chocolate to melt with residual heat to avoid burning.
  • Lightly grease the parchment paper in the baking tray to prevent sticking.
  • Perform the toothpick test: the brownies are done when the toothpick comes out with gooey and moist crumbs, not clean or with liquid batter.
  • Allow the brownies to cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
