Fudgy Frosted Brownies
Ingredients
  • 8 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 ΒΌ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C).
2
Next, prepare your baking pan by greasing it with a suitable lubricant to prevent the brownies from sticking.
3
Make the brownie mixture: Combine the baking chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe container. Heat it in short bursts until the chocolate is soft and the butter has melted, approximately 2 minutes. Stir to blend.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla using an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes. Gradually decrease the speed to low and incorporate the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture. Combine the flour until just mixed; avoid overmixing. Stir in chopped walnuts to add texture.
5
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
6
Bake the brownies in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs, approximately 35 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool within the pan.
7
Simultaneously prepare the frosting: Combine sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer without stirring for 7 minutes.
8
Add baking chocolate and butter; stir until melted and the chocolate is fully incorporated. Whisk in vanilla until smooth. Place the frosting into the refrigerator to chill and thicken, approximately 30 minutes.
9
Once the brownies have cooled, frost them with the chilled frosting. Cut the brownies into 32 equal squares.
