How to Make Chocolate Brownies With Hot Fudge Sauce
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20cm square baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 170g (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 200g (2 cups) granulated sugar and 100g (¾ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 100g (1 cup) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the hot fudge sauce:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 50g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, 50g (½ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 100ml (½ cup) water.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 300g (1 can) sweetened condensed milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the sauce is smooth and thickened (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Serve the warm hot fudge sauce over the cooled brownies. Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra treat!
- To store leftover brownies and sauce separately, place in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat sauce in the microwave as needed.
