Description
Rich, gooey hot fudge brownies with a dense chocolate base and a molten fudge layer baked right in. Perfectly indulgent and best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly and drizzle over the batter.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter and smooth the surface.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly fudgy.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra hot fudge and ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Do not overbake—the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best flavor.
- These brownies taste amazing when slightly warmed before serving.
