Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8'x8' metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate baking bar. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of light brown sugar to the warm chocolate mixture. Whisk until fully dissolved.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisk until well incorporated.
  5. Fold in ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup of cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of espresso powder gently.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  7. For the ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until simmering and pour it over 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate, stir until smooth.
  8. Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature, then whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  9. Cut the cooled brownies using a round cookie cutter and pipe the whipped ganache on top.
