How to Make Fudgy Skillet Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet (8-10 inch), melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter and ¼ cup heavy cream over medium heat. Stir until simmering.
  5. Remove from heat and add 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, whisking until fully combined.
  8. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour the batter into the same skillet.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't expect it to be completely clean, for fudgy brownies).
  11. Let the brownies cool slightly in the skillet before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy straight from the pan!
