Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
- Butter an 8-inch square pan to prevent sticking.
- Melt the chocolate with the unsalted butter in a double boiler over barely simmering water. Once melted, set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the melted chocolate mixture and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until completely combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and lightly beaten egg to the mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Incorporate the all-purpose flour into the mixture and beat just until totally blended, ensuring it has a shiny, velvety look (about 1 minute or less).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a very thin crust forms on the top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with a moist crumb. Be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a rack until they reach room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the brownies with plastic wrap and set them aside overnight to enhance their flavor and texture.
- For the frosting: In a blender, combine the melted chocolate, 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar, and evaporated milk. Process for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is firm and shiny. You’ll notice a change in the sound of the blender when the mixture has firmed up.
- Frost the cooled brownies with a thin layer of the chocolate icing.
- To serve, cut the brownies into squares and top each with a pecan half, if desired.
Enjoy the rich, fudgy goodness of Rosie’s Chocolate Brownies, perfect for dessert or any sweet occasion! ๐
