Who doesn’t like brownies and ice cream? It’s a favorite dessert of my hubby and I. We could eat this most every night if we didn’t know any better! In experimenting with making brownies from scratch I came across this great recipe. In my opinion these brownies are best when zapped in the microwave for 30 seconds and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Of course they are just as good on their own, chewy and including the perfect balance of chocolate chips. But the ice cream really brings it to dessert level. And if your really feeling ambitious you can top it off with some yummy chocolate sauce. This simple syrup recipe is with out added sugar and corn syrup!
Chewy Brownie
- ½ cup Butter
- 4 oz. coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 1 ¼ cups Sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large Eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Combine butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk continually until the mixture is melted and then remove from heat. Next whisk in sugar, vanilla, and salt. Then eggs, blending well. Gently add in flour until just combined. Lastly stir in chips. Spread into pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool pan on wire rack for 30 min and then in freezer for 30 min, this will make it easy to peal of the foil with out any sticking.
