Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 225 g (1 ¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 100 g (¾ cup) caster sugar
- 90 g (½ cup) demerara sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 56 g (¼ cup) butter, salted or unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g (½ cup) dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC (320ºF) for fan-forced or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional settings.
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water surface.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully combined.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and incorporate the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip eggs and both sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale, voluminous, and extremely fluffy.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, maintaining the incorporated air.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate-egg mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each brookie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, looking for crackly tops and set edges.
- Optional: Sprinkle sea salt over the brookies immediately after removing from the oven.
- Allow brookies to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Achieve ultra-rich texture by using high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids for deeper, more intense flavor.
- Control spreading by chilling the batter for 30 minutes before baking, which helps brookies maintain a more compact shape and prevents excessive flattening.
- Customize dietary needs by substituting gluten-free flour blend for regular flour and using dairy-free chocolate chips for vegan adaptation.
- Enhance storage life by keeping brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, maintaining their delightful chewy consistency.
