Ingredients

Our triple chocolate brownies will satisfy any chocolate craving with their rich chocolate flavor and soft, chewy texture.

For the Brownie Base

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, (plus 1 tablespoon for tossing chocolate chips in)
• ¾ cup cocoa powder, (unsweetened)
• 1 cup salted sweet cream butter
• 4 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate bar, (chopped)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, (room temperature)
• 2½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Chips

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chip chunks, (divided in half)
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

How to Make Triple Chocolate Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your brownies bake evenly.

Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan

Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolates

In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chopped bittersweet baking chocolate with the butter until smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture while continuously stirring.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined.

Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips

Toss half of the semi-sweet chocolate chip chunks with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking. Fold these into the brownie batter along with remaining chocolate chips.

Step 7: Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy your deliciously rich Triple Chocolate Brownies!

How to Serve Triple Chocolate Brownies

Triple chocolate brownies are a decadent treat that can be served in various delightful ways. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a formal event, these brownies will impress everyone.

Pair with Ice Cream

• Vanilla Bean – The creamy texture and flavor of vanilla bean ice cream perfectly complement the rich chocolate.
• Mint Chocolate Chip – For a refreshing twist, mint chocolate chip adds a cool contrast to the warm brownies.

Top with Whipped Cream

• Lightly Sweetened – A dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream enhances the chocolate flavor without overpowering it.
• Flavored Whipped Cream – Consider adding flavors like cinnamon or vanilla for an extra touch.

Serve with Fresh Berries

How to Perfect Triple Chocolate Brownies

Making perfect triple chocolate brownies is an art. Follow these tips to ensure your brownies turn out delicious every time.

• Use Room Temperature Eggs – Room temperature eggs blend better into the batter, creating a smoother consistency.
• Measure Flour Correctly – Spoon and level flour instead of scooping it from the bag to avoid dense brownies.
• Don’t Overmix – Mix just until combined; overmixing can lead to tough brownies.
• Check Doneness Early – Start checking your brownies a few minutes before the timer goes off to prevent overbaking.
• Let Them Cool – Allowing the brownies to cool completely helps them set and makes cutting easier.

Best Side Dishes for Triple Chocolate Brownies

Pairing side dishes with your triple chocolate brownies can elevate your dessert experience. Here are some great options:

1. Chilled Milk – A classic pairing that complements the richness of the brownies perfectly.
2. Coffee – Brewed coffee or espresso enhances chocolate flavors and provides a nice contrast.
3. Fruit Salad – A light fruit salad adds freshness and balance to the sweet richness of the brownies.
4. Chocolate Fondue – Dip fruit or marshmallows in warm chocolate fondue for an interactive dessert experience.
5. Cheesecake Mousse – Light and creamy cheesecake mousse pairs well without overwhelming the brownie’s flavor.
6. Nutty Granola – Serve a scoop of nutty granola on the side for added crunch and texture.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoiding common mistakes can enhance your baking experience and ensure perfect triple chocolate brownies every time.

• Using cold ingredients: Cold eggs and butter can lead to a less uniform batter. Always use room temperature eggs and softened butter to achieve the best texture.
• Skipping the flour tossing: Not tossing chocolate chips in flour can cause them to sink to the bottom of the batter. Lightly coat them in flour before mixing in to keep them evenly distributed.
• Overmixing the batter: Overmixing can make brownies dense and tough. Mix just until combined for a softer, chewier texture.
• Not checking doneness: Baking too long can dry out brownies. Use a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for perfect fudginess.
• Neglecting cooling time: Cutting brownies too soon can lead to messy squares. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean edges.
