Fudgy Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8” pan and line with parchment paper leaving 1” hanging over the sides of the pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Then, stir in the flour, salt, and instant coffee powder until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Whiskey Ganache & Assembly

Place the dark chocolate in a small heat proof bowl. Heat the heavy cream over medium high heat, stirring frequently, just until it starts to boil.

Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth, and then add the Irish whiskey, vanilla, and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes and then pour over the baked brownies.

Next, pour the melted white chocolate into a piping bag with a small tip. Pipe stripes in a horizontal pattern across the chocolate. Then, use a toothpick to draw lines vertically across the pan to create a marbled look.

Let cool until completely set, about 1-2 hours. Use the parchment paper wings to remove the brownies from the pan, and slice into 16 bars. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Coffee Powder Bloom 💥
Dissolve instant coffee powder in a small amount of hot water before adding to the brownie batter to intensify and unlock its deep, rich flavor profile.
Chocolate Chunk Distribution 🍫
Toss white and dark chocolate chunks in a bit of flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the brownies.
Ganache Temperature Trick 🌡️
Let the whiskey ganache cool to just slightly above room temperature before pouring to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency without melting the brownie surface.
One-Bowl Magic 🥣
Melt butter and chocolate together first, then add ingredients in order from wet to dry to minimize dishes and create a smooth, homogeneous batter.
Fudgy Texture Secret 🍽️
Underbake slightly and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan to achieve that coveted ultra-fudgy, dense texture that doesn't crumble.
