Another day, another brownie. I personally never tire of trying new brownie recipes in my quest for the most “perfect” fudge brownie. I have tasted a lot of brownies and I think this one might be very close to brownie perfection.

They tick all the boxes necessary to meet my expectations – they’re rich, fudgy, moist, have tons of chocolate chips inside and are then topped off with ganache. Could it get any better?

Tips & Variations

  • Add flavorings. Try adding some peppermint extract, cherry liqueur, or your favorite other liqueur to change up the flavor.
  • Add toppings. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of fresh berries.

Storage

Because they are topped with ganache, these brownies are best refrigerated single-layered in a covered dish for 2-4 days. You can freeze refrigerated brownies by carefully wrapping them individually in aluminium foil or plastic wrap when cold, then sealing in a freezer container for up to 2 months.
