Making the Brownies

(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)

Ingredients You Will Need

  • Unsalted butter
  • Bittersweet chocolate
  • Egg
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder
  • Cornstarch
  • Kosher salt
  • Vanilla ice cream

Choosing Your Ramekins

We recommend using two 8-oz ramekins to bake these brownies. If you don’t own ramekins, you can also make these brownies in an oven-proof mug or other smaller baking vessel.

Be aware that changing the size of the baking vessel will affect the cook time, so make sure you watch brownies closely while avoid overbaking.

Tips for Perfect Brownies

  1. Microwave butter and chocolate chips – 1-2 minutes in the microwave will melt the butter and chocolate perfectly.
  2. Allow melted butter/chocolate to cool slightly – allowing this to cool slightly before adding the rest of the ingredients ensures you won’t accidentally scramble the egg.
  3. Use cornstarch – a mere 1 tablespoon cornstarch eliminates the need for flour in these brownies making them gluten-free.
  4. Under-bake brownies – the brownies are done when the tops are cracked and the center is still a bit soft. Under-baking will ensure that the inside stays fudgy.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on this recipe.

  • Top with fruit – try topping brownies with fresh raspberries or strawberries.
  • Make it caramel – try baking a caramel candy in the center of brownies.
  • Use dark chocolate – for a more intense chocolate flavor, try using a good-quality dark chocolate in place of the bittersweet.

Serving Suggestions

We highly recommend enjoying these brownies warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center! The center of the brownies will deflate a bit as they cool making it the perfect vessel for ice cream. You simply can’t skip it.

You’re doing Valentine’s Day wrong if these deep-dish gems aren’t on your dessert agenda!

Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 2 servings
Calories 393kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease two 8-oz ramekins and set aside.
  • Place butter and chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave 1-2 minutes on high, stirring at 30 second intervals until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg, yolk, sugar, vanilla, cocoa, cornstarch, salt, and melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
  • Divide batter between prepared ramekins and smooth tops. Bake brownies at 350F 25-30 minutes until tops are cracked (the center should still be a bit soft)

  • Serve deep dish brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in center and enjoy!

Notes

Brownies are best if served immediately after baking.
