How to Make Bakery Style Fudge Brownies

Quick Overview

Making Bakery Style Fudge Brownies is a breeze! Ready in about 30 minutes, these rich treats require minimal effort for maximum payoff. The ingredients blend seamlessly to create a batter so chocolaty, you’ll be tempted to eat it raw! You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of pulling perfectly baked brownies from your oven that smell just like your favorite bakery.

Key Ingredients for Bakery Style Fudge Brownies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

2. Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Combine sugar and eggs: Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until fully combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Incorporate dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet batter, stirring until just combined – the less you mix, the fudgier they’ll be!

5. Fold in chocolate chips: If you’re feeling indulgent, fold the chocolate chips into the batter for an extra layer of decadence.

6. Bake: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a timeless dessert experience!

What to Serve Bakery Style Fudge Brownies With

Pair these fudge brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to balance out the intense chocolate flavor. For a more sophisticated touch, drizzle some caramel sauce or top with fresh berries. A warm cup of coffee or cold glass of milk completes the ensemble beautifully! For a fun twist, why not serve them alongside a slice of our Classic New York Cheesecake for a delightful dessert platter?

Top Tips for Perfecting Bakery Style Fudge Brownies

To achieve the perfect brownie, always use high-quality chocolate – it truly makes a difference! Consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a chewy texture and richer flavor. Don’t overmix your batter, or you’ll lose that wonderfully fudgy consistency. Finally, keep a close eye on the baking time to avoid drying them out; remember, they will continue to cook a bit after being removed from the oven!

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to get that freshly-baked warm, gooey texture back. Enjoy every bite and feel free to double the batch—these are sure to disappear quickly!

Now that you have this delicious recipe at your fingertips, a batch of Bakery Style Fudge Brownies is just a few moments away. Happy baking, and enjoy your sweet indulgence!
