Instructions

Step 1

Mix to combine your browned butter, cocoa powder, coffee, vanilla, salt, and the 1/4 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Pop in the microwave for a minute to let the chocolate bloom. Allow to cool down slightly.

Step 2

Whisk your eggs and sugar. Add in the chocolate mixture, followed by the flour. Fold in your chocolate chunks. Transfer to a parchment-lined 8x8 baking pan, and bake at 350f for 30min. Let it cool for at least 30min before cutting into it.

Step 3

While the brownie cools, make your ganache. Finely chop your chocolate (don’t use chips) and put the heavy cream in a pot to simmer over medium-low heat. Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate, add butter and espresso powder, and let it sit for a couple of minutes before mixing well. You should have a silky smooth chocolate ganache.

Step 4

Spread the ganache while it’s still warm on top of the cooled brownie and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Let it cool for another 10minutes, and enjoy!
