How to Make The Unbelievable Brownie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips; stir into the butter mixture until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  8. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  11. **Frosting:**
  12. Place 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a blender.
  13. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  14. Carefully pour the hot cream into the blender with the chocolate chips.
  15. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  16. Blend until smooth and glossy. If needed, gently heat for a few seconds to ensure complete melting.
  17. Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened enough to spread easily.
  18. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
