How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get started! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these Fudgy Chewy Brookies:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Whip Eggs and Sugars

In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then add the chocolate chips. This will help ensure there are no lumps and that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 5: Integrate Chocolate Mixture

Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to maintain the airiness of the whipped eggs.

Step 6: Fold in Dry Ingredients

Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. Mix only until just combined to keep the batter light.

Step 7: Bake the Brookies

Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the brookies are set and crackly on top.

Step 8: Cool and Finish

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt immediately, if desired. Let them cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your Fudgy Chewy Brookies turn out perfectly every time:

• Make sure to use room temperature eggs for a lighter texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brookies chewy.
• Let the brookies cool slightly on the baking tray before transferring them to a cooling rack.
• For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle with sea salt immediately after baking.

How to Serve

These Fudgy Chewy Brookies are delicious on their own, but you can also get creative with how you serve them:

• With a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
• As a base for sundaes with your favorite toppings.
• Paired with a glass of cold milk for a classic treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

These brookies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, you can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

And there you have it—your new favorite dessert recipe! These Fudgy Chewy Brookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, and they’re sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Happy baking, and don’t forget to share your creations with me!
