Ingredients for Brownies

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 stick margarine
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup flour

Ingredients for Chocolate Ganache

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • Microwave chocolate and cream on high for ~ 1 minute. Whisk until well mixed. Use immediately.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and salt in large mixing bowl until frothy. Add sugar and beat until thick and pale yellow ~ 2 to 3 minutes. Add vanilla and beat additional 30 seconds.
  3. Melt margarine and chocolate in microwave safe bowl on high for ~ 1 minute. Stir and microwave additional 30 seconds, if necessary.
  4. Add melted chocolate into egg mixture. Add flour and beat 1 minute. Scrape down sides and beat additional 30 seconds.
  5. Grease 9-inch cake pan and pour in brownie batter. Place pan on top rack of oven and bake 15 – 20 minutes until center is barely set (toothpick still gooey). Remove and let cool.
  6. Top with ganache and place in freezer for at least 1 hour. Serve with ice cream (we like mint chocolate chip!).
