Ingredients
- For the brownies:
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting the pan
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- For the caramel sauce:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- For topping:
- gray sea salt or flaky sea salt, optional, to taste, for serving
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat an 8x8x2-inch pan with nonstick spray and dust with the extra cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
Step 3 -Place 1/2 cup butter, the unsweetened chocolate, and bittersweet chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Step 4 -Heat the chocolate mixture in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until melted. Let cool slightly.
Step 5 -While the chocolate mixture is cooling, in another medium bowl, whisk the flour, espresso powder, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Step 6 -In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.
Step 7 -Beat the vanilla into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined, for about 30 seconds-1 minute.
Step 8 -Fold the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula.
Step 9 -Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture, until just combined.
Step 10 -Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Step 11 -Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top until even.
Step 12 -Bake the brownies until a fork or toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 13 -Transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool in the pan.
Step 14 -Cut the brownies into 16 squares.
Step 15 -In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Step 16 -Increase the heat to medium-high and cook without stirring, occasionally swirling the pan and brushing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush, until the sugar is a deep amber color, about 5-8 minutes.
Step 17 -Transfer the caramel away from the heat.
Step 18 -Add the heavy cream and butter to the caramel (the mixture will bubble vigorously). Whisk to combine.
Step 19 -Let the caramel mixture cool slightly in the pan, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 20 -Drizzle the caramel sauce over the brownies and sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 21 -Serve.
