About this recipe

These fudgy brownies are rich, chewy, and packed with chocolate flavor. This recipe from Haeum Cooking promises a simple yet delicious treat that you can whip up in about 30-35 minutes.

What sets this brownie recipe apart is the technique of using a double boiler to melt the chocolate and butter, ensuring a smooth and glossy batter. Plus, the combination of granulated and dark brown sugars adds depth to the sweetness.

Ingredient notes

  • 110g of unsalted butter is about 1/2 cup.
  • 150g of granulated sugar is approximately 3/4 cup.
  • 50g of dark brown sugar is roughly 1/4 cup.
  • 25g of cocoa powder is about 1/4 cup.
