INSTRUCTIONS

Brownie
  • Preheat the oven to 360 and line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper. Leave an overhang of parchment so that you can easily lift the brownies from the pan once they’re cool.
  • Melt the butter, and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and lightened in color.
  • Fold in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped 40% chocolate.
  • Pour the brownie batter into a prepared pan and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

 

Frosting
  • Melt the chocolate and butter together until completely smooth. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Whisk in the espresso powder and powdered sugar. The frosting will seem thin, but will thicken up as it comes to room temperature.
  • Once frosting is thick and spreadable, spread into an even layer on the cooled brownies. Top with flaky salt and slice into squares.
 

ASSEMBLY & FINISHING

  • *For clean slices, chill the brownies in the fridge for 30 minutes and wipe off your knife between cuts.
  • *Brownies will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
