Chocolate Truffle Dessert Brownies

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 9
• 4 eggs, separated
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups butter (2 1/2 sticks)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 425°f grease a 9-in. square baking dish and set aside.
• 2 in a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter on half-power in the microwave (you can also do this on a stovetop). whisk in 1 cup sugar and the cocoa, and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• 3 whisk in flour and vanilla. add egg yolks one at a time, beating well with each addition.
• 4 in a separate bowl, beat egg whites and 1 tablespoons sugar on high until soft peaks form. fold into chocolate mixture until just combined. pour into prepared pan.
• 5 bake for 18-20 minutes or until brownie is puffed and edges are firm (center will be soft). cool for about 30 minutes before serving or refrigerating.
• 6 now, you can serve this dish warm (my favorite), and it will have a gooey, molten center. or you can refrigerate it and serve it cold, in which case it will be firmer. store leftovers in the refrigerator, and reheat if desired.
