Ingredients

  • 220 grams of milk chocolate
  • 3/4 cup of butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of espresso powder
  • 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup of almonds, chopped
  • semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (for topping)
  • almonds, finely chopped (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Prepare a baking dish by buttering the interior or spraying with non-stock spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper
  • Add 220 grams of milk chocolate and 3/4 cup of butter into a heat proof bowl and microwave for 10 second increments until the butter is mostly melted
  • Whisk until the butter and chocolate are fully combined and smooth and then set it aside to cool a bit
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated and pale yellow in color
  • Combine the egg mixture with the cooled melted chocolate
  • Add 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon of espresso powder and 3/4 cup of chopped almonds and mix until just combined
  • Transfer the batter into your prepared baking dish
  • Bake in an 8”x8” baking dish for 50-55 minutes, a 7.5”x10.5” baking dish for 35-40 minutes or a 13”x9” baking dish for 30 minutes
  • Once the edges of the brownie are set and the center is still just slightly soft, transfer the baking dish onto a heat proof surface such as a cutting board or cooling rack and allow the brownies to cool until they are set
  • Optionally, top the warm brownies with chopped chocolate and finely chopped almonds 
  • Flip the set brownies out of the baking dish and cut into slices
  • Dust with powdered sugar (optional)
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature
