Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2 pieces Eggs (Essential for binding and moisture)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Enhances flavor, kosher salt recommended)
- 1 cup Sugar (Consider brown sugar for deeper flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract (Use vanilla bean as a substitute)
- 0.5 cup Butter (Coconut oil for dairy-free option)
- 3 ounces Unsweetened Baking Chocolate, chopped (Key for the chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed)
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces Semi-sweet or Dark Chocolate, chopped (Perfect for dipping)
- Sea Salt for Sprinkling (Maldon Sea Salt Flakes recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a brownie pan or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt 0.5 cup butter and 3 ounces chopped unsweetened baking chocolate until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Beat 2 eggs with 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Combine Wet and Chocolate Mixture: Gradually blend the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift 0.5 cup all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon salt into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined without overmixing.
- Bake Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Cut Fries: Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, carefully cut the brownies into fry-shaped strips approximately 3 inches long and 0.5 inches wide.
- Melt Dipping Chocolate: Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Brownie Fries: Dip each brownie fry halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place dipped fries on parchment paper.
- Sprinkle Sea Salt and Set: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Maldon sea salt flakes over the tops to enhance flavor. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to firm up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Chocolate Fruffles Brownie Truffle Fries fresh for the best texture and indulgent chocolate experience.
