The Best Fudgie Brownies Ever with Mom’s Fudge Frosting

Posted on October 4th, 2007 by nikki Print this Recipe

Dense, rich, luscious, ooey-gooey goodness. That’s what these are. It was recently my daughter Ellie’s birthday and she requested these instead of a cake. So, being an indulging sort of mom, of course I had to make them for her. (note: “her” = code for “me” LOL)

brownies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
2 bars Lindtt 59% dark chocolate (6 ounces/150 grams each), chopped into smaller sized pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
————————————–
for the frosting:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 bar Lindtt 59% dark chocolate (6 ounces/150 grams)

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350º F (175º C)
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and reserve.
Using a medium sized saucepan, melt butter and sugar over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Add 1 bar of chocolate and stir until melted.
Add in eggs one at a time, whisking quickly and constantly.
Add in flour mixture and whisk to combine.
Add the other bar of chopped chocolate and stir.
Pour into a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar).
Bake brownies for about 40 minutes, more or less according to how fudgy you like them.

—————————-

Prepare frosting:

Heat butter and milk over medium heat and bring to boiling.
Remove from heat.
Add chocolate bar and stir until melted.
Pour over brownies.
(this frosting is almost like a ganache…very soft)

I’m with your daughter. Brownises in lieu of cake….or maybe not…or maybe both…This recipe of your mom’s is definitely worth checking out!!!

I’m going with both, too. My oldest daughter just informed me that she wants a birthday “Pumpkin Pie.” Ok. LOL

[...] need to adjust baking time according to the pan(s) you are using. I like to frost this with my mom’s fudge frosting, but go wild and bust out of the mold if you like. [...]

You forgot to mention how and when to add the vanilla and the sugar (for the frosting)
Not a big deal, just an observation.
Just making them AGAIN btw.. they’re the best brownies ever.

You forgot to mention when you have to add the vanilla…
