Ingredients

brownie

  • 90 Grams dark chocolate
  • 75 Grams butter
  • 85 Grams granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 35 Grams AP flour
  • 15 Grams cocoa powder

decoration

  • heavy whipping cream
  • m and ms
  • dark chocolate

Instructions

step one, eggs

  • Firstly, we are cracking two perfect eggs, you can use a whisk or an electric hand mixer for this step and you wanna beat them, you will see in the picture the difference on the colors and you should add the sugar to the eggs when they start to get a bit white and you can see the trace of the whisk on the beaten eggs. 
  • Make sure you don’t stop for too long when adding the sugar and start whisking again so they don’t flop. If by any chance you forget to add the sugar on this step or its way too late, they are not gonna peak that much, but its fine you can just add the sugar later when melting the chocolate. 

Step two, brown butter

  • Like we said before, this first step is kinda optional, you wanna get your butter all brown and delicious. Add your butter stick to a pan on medium low heat, stir once in a while and always keeping an eye on it because it can go from brown to burnt real quick. 
  • Now at this point since the butter is really hot you can use it to melt the dark chocolate, if you see that the chocolate didn’t melt completely just add it back to the pan and to the stove. 

step three, dry ingredients

  • We are adding our dry ingredients (cocoa powder and all purpose flour ) to our melted butter and chocolate mix. Make sure to mix everything really well because we don’t want any flour lumps on this batter. 

step four, mix

  • You want to add first 1/4 part of the eggs into the chocolate batter and mix carefully with a spatula, make sure to not use a whisk because if you do so the eggs are gonna flop. When you see it almost completely mixed you can go ahead and add 1/2 the batter and repeat the same process. We are doing this 3-4 times until you have all mixed together. 

step five, bake

  • Make sure to spread butter, margarine or oil to the gaps from the pan and then we are adding flour and moving the pan around until you see every part of it coated with it. Make sure to only fill a half the muffin gaps, do not fill as much as we did or you are gonna end up having muffins instead of brownies.
  • Bake it in your oven at 180 C or 356 F for about 5 minutes to have fudgy brownies, you can keep it for more time if you want like we did because we were scared they were not gonna be that easy to remove from the pan but you are safe to bake them less time for some extra yumminess 

Step six,decorate

  • We had to cut all the top of our brownies because they were way too big (that’s why you should add less batter on each) 
  • Now you can make a ganache using heavy whipping cream and melted chocolate, you don’t have to weight it just melt the chocolate with a bit of heavy cream and then keep adding more until it feels right. We run out of our first ganache that’s why you can see different colors.
  • You can also just melt chocolate and add it to the top without the cream, you can always chose what you prefer. 
  • Put some colored chocolates on top, use as many as you’d like. You should add them right away when the chocolate is still hot so it sticks. 

step seven, chill

  • allow your copycat cosmic brownie cookies to chill in the fridge for at least 2 ours or you could also eat them right away super warm and delicious.
