SUPERNATURAL BROWNIES



Supernatural Brownies image

This recipe is an accidental creation by Nick Malgieri, who (in a rare human moment for a pastry chef) once forgot to double the flour when baking his own fudge brownie recipe. He also adds a measure of brown sugar to the basic formula. The experts are divided as to whether the brown sugar actually contributes flavor or simply makes the brownie moister (molasses, which makes brown sugar brown, is powerfully hydrophilic). It's my belief that the slightly bitter taste of molasses acts as an invisible enhancer to the chocolate. The result is as complex and sophisticated as any terrine or truffle I have ever produced.

Time 1h

Yield 15 large or 24 small brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) butter, more for pan and parchment paper
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 cup dark brown sugar, such as muscovado

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 3/4 cup whole walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and line with buttered parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk in salt and vanilla.

My nieces husband passed this recipe to me, although I have not made it I was told this is very good and chocolaty. This was published in Wine Spectacular in March 2008.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 2 inch brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 ounces dark chocolate (70% dark chocolate)
4 ounces intense dark chocolate, broken into small pieces (Ghiradelli makes this)
4 jumbo eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan, and line with aluminum foil or buttered parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl mix the espresso powder with the vanilla extract until powder dissolves.
  • In the top part of a double boiler set over barely a simmering water, melt the butter and the chocolate pieces together. Remove from heat, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, and whisk in the salt, sugars and vanilla mixture. Fold in the flour until just combined. Stir in the morsels. Pour the batter in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the surface looks shiny and begins to crack. To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie cool in the pan on a rack before cutting and serving.

Fudgy in the center and cakey-crisp on the surface, these supernatural brownies from pastry chef Nick Malgieri are truly out of this world.

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield 24 {2-inch|5 cm} brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks (½ pound) unsalted butter
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped (I use Ghirardelli bars)
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife

Steps:

  • Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper (bring parchment up sides of pan so there is a slight overhang) and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave until bubbling. Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. The heat from the butter should be enough to melt the chocolate completely, but if not, place the chocolate-butter mixture in the microwave and heat for 20 seconds or so, then whisk again. (Alternatively, combine the butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted.)
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth (be sure no lumps of brown sugar remain). Whisk in the chocolate-butter mixture, then add the flour and whisk until the batter is uniform.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top has formed a shiny crust and the batter is moderately firm. Cool completely in the pan on a rack. If not serving right away, wrap pan in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature or refrigerated until the next day.
  • To cut brownies, first lift them out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Separate the parchment from the edges. Using a sharp knife, trim away the edges and cut the brownies into 2-in squares.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, cut them into squares, wrap tightly in foil, and then place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
