What’s your favorite chocolate type? Dark, milk, white? In our family, we have all different taste buds when it comes to chocolate. Aadi likes Milk Chocolate, Rhea likes White Chocolate, Ziv likes either Milk or 60%, Personally, I love dark chocolate – and I mean I love using 70% or even 80% in my Brownies!!

What’s your favorite way to eat a Brownie?
I love a dark chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. Sometimes when I’m feeling spoilt, a little drizzle of caramel on the vanilla ice cream and sometimes a nice warm chocolate sauce on the bottom for those indulgent days when you just can’t have enough chocolate.. ladies you know what I’m talking about – Absolutely heaven!!
Now, this is my recipe, tried and tested over the year. Why? Because I’m so fussy about my Brownie? Yep!! has to be perfect. As embarrassing as it sounds, I believe I make the best brownies so I don’t order brownies when I’m out in a restaurant – just cause I’m so afraid I’d be disappointed. I know!
This recipe is so simple and easy you absolutely must try it. It’s my kids favorite and I usually never ever make it without Aadi and Rhea around. They enjoy every bit of the process, making and licking the bowl to cutting and enjoying the brownies.

One Recipe so many possibilities.
As I said I have tried and test this recipe for so many years so it’s just the way I like it. Now it’s like a winning formula that works as a base for my other brownie recipes. A good brownie should have a little crisp crust on the top with a soft, sweet, fudgy almost melt in your mouth center. That’s what this one is.
You can play around with the choice of nuts. I usually like pecan, but walnuts make a perfect combination with chocolate too. Try white chocolate chips if you like the contrast. I use this recipe as a base to make my dark chocolate fudge brownies as well as my ultimate moist strawberry chocolate brownies.

Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Dark Chocolate – You know how I feel about my chocolate? If you going to bake with chocolate use the best quality chocolate you can get. Nothing is worse than to bake a beautiful recipe and realizing you didn’t take it to it ultimate luxury.
- Sugar – The white sugar adds a bit of crisp skin on the top and the dark keeps it deliciously soft and moist with that distinct taste from the molasses.
- Eggs – The eggs work as a leavening agent here. Notice we don’t have any baking powder or baking soda in this recipe.
- Cocoa powder – I use Dutch processed dark cocoa powder. It’s what gives the brownies that dense dark chocolate color and texture.
- Flour – adds stability to the brownie. You can use almond or coconut flour if you want to make it gluten-free.
- Coffee – 1 tsp is not much you can add more if you prefer. I prefer a subtle hint of coffee that does not take away from my distinct brownie taste.
Don’t these look divine?
Can you see that thin layer of crust? and look at how moist that center looks. The secret? never overbake brownies. My mom’s first rule to baking brownies – err on the side of under-baked rather than over-baked. Why? no one ever complains about moist brownies but no one will forget if you give them dry chocolate brownies. Agree?

hello! what can be used to replace eggs?
and which chocolate should be used? Compound or couverture?
I do not recommend you replace the eggs in this recipe. Perhaps look for an eggless recipe. You can try my Eggless Chocolate Fudge Cake but it’s similar to a brownie but not a brownie recipe.
I just found your site today. So very glad I did. I absolutely love dark chocolate and these brownies look amazing. I’ll be making them very soon. Now I have your blog added to my Pinterest to follow and liked your Facebook page. Looking forward to spending the next 30 + LOL checking out the rest of your recipes 🙂
So happy to hear that Kari. Thank you
Looks good! Brownies are an eternal fave
Thanks Swayam.
These look so decadent! And thanks so much for the video, I always love watching the recipe being made first, so helpful!
My pleasure Sarah. True.. I know what you mean. thanks
My favourite kind of brownie! I love dark chocolate (70%) and vanilla ice-cream served with it..yes!
Me too Sarah.. Glad to see I’m not a lone for the dark Brownie.!!
Yep, I’m with you – the darker the chocolate the better for me too. Served warm with good vanilla ice cream and homemade butterscotch please! And I love nuts too, although they are a controversial addition for some!
Yeah I know I grew up with Nuts in Brownie but now days people have so many allergies that you have to be careful.
These brownies look amazing. Nothing nicer than a warm brownie with ice cream
Indeed. My son’s favorite way to eat Browne… mine too…
