Double Fudge Cocoa Brownies
Recipe by Executive Winery Chef DJ MacIntyre ∙ Yield 16 Brownies
ingredients:
8 oz wt.
2 ½ cups
1 Tbsp.
1 tsp.
1 tsp.
3
1
¼ tsp.
8 oz. wt.
3 oz. wt.
3 oz. wt.
unsalted butter
brown sugar
granulated sugar
vanilla extract
instant espresso
eggs
egg yolk
kosher salt
dark chocolate — cut into small chunks
dutch cocoa powder
all purpose flour — or gluten free 1 to 1 flour
method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F on low fan. Line a 8”x 8” pan with aluminum foil, pressing foil into the pan,
allowing foil to overlap the pan by 1-2 inches. Spray foil liberally with pan spray.
Place butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Allow butter to slowly brown. This will require stirring
and careful watching. Do not burn butter. When brown, remove butter off the stove and transfer to a
mixing bowl. Quickly add in sugars, vanilla and instant coffee. Stir to blend. Add eggs to the mixture one
at a time, beating vigorously for 2-3 minutes. Add flour and cocoa together. Then add to the wet mixture
and mix until combined, but do not over mix. The goal is to make sure the batter is not over-mixed when
the flour is incorporated. Fold in about 2⁄3 of the dark chocolate chunks.
Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges. Sprinkle on the remaining
chocolate chunks. Bake for 30 minutes for extra gooey, 35 minutes for fudgy and 40
minutes for less fudgy. Cool to room temperature in the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
to 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator and pull the foil lining with the brownies out.
Using a heated knife, to make sure you get clean edges, mark and cut into 16 even
pieces per pan. Store at room temperature in an airtight container until needed.
pair with:
2021 Pambrun Cabernet Sauvignon, Walla Walla
Crimson red in the glass, the wine shines with alluring aromatics of crushed herb,
black currant and red clay. The French oak barrels add flavors of toasted oak, dark
chocolate and fresh espresso. Time in the barrel lends to a fruit-forward finish with
lively tannins and an opportunity to age this bottle for years to come.
Vintage subject to change based on availability.
