There’s something magical about a warm, fudgy brownie. It’s comfort, decadence, and pure happiness in a single bite. But when it comes to chocolate, why settle for just one kind? Enter the ultimate dessert experience: triple chocolate brownies. This isn’t your average brownie recipe—this is a celebration of chocolate in all its rich, gooey glory.
Whether you’re a seasoned baker or someone who only steps into the kitchen for the love of chocolate, this recipe is guaranteed to impress. Imagine biting into a brownie that’s the perfect balance of crisp edges, chewy center, and velvety chocolate layers. The secret? Three types of chocolate. Dark chocolate gives it depth, milk chocolate adds sweetness, and white chocolate delivers creamy pops of flavor. Together, they create a symphony of taste and texture that’s downright irresistible.
These brownies are more than just a treat—they’re an experience. They’re the star of Sunday dinners, and the ultimate companion to a cozy night in with a mug of tea or a scoop of ice cream. And let’s not forget, they’re a fantastic way to show someone you care. A plate of triple chocolate brownies is basically a love letter written in cocoa.
But before we dive into the recipe, let’s talk about what makes a perfect brownie. Is it the crackly top? The ooey-gooey center? The slight bitterness that offsets the sweetness? For me, it’s all of the above. And with this recipe, you won’t have to compromise. Whether you’re baking for friends, family, or just yourself (no judgment!), these brownies deliver on every level.
So, roll up your sleeves, grab your favorite mixing bowl, and prepare for a baking session that will fill your kitchen with the most heavenly aroma. You don’t need fancy equipment or a culinary degree to master this recipe—just a love for chocolate and a little patience (because, yes, you’ll have to wait for them to cool before slicing—trust me, it’s worth it).
Ready to make your chocolate dreams come true? Let’s get started with these triple chocolate brownies, the dessert you’ll be dreaming about long after the last crumb is gone.
Stay tuned for tips, tricks, and the full recipe below—you’re only a few steps away from brownie bliss!
1. Use High-Quality Chocolate
The star ingredient in brownies is, of course, chocolate. Opt for high-quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder for maximum flavor. When choosing mix-ins like chocolate chips, go for premium brands to ensure a rich, luxurious taste.
2. Don’t Overmix the Batter
Overmixing can lead to dense, tough brownies. After adding the flour, gently fold it into the wet ingredients just until combined. A few streaks of flour are okay; they’ll disappear as you bake.
3. Measure Ingredients Accurately
Baking is a science, and precise measurements matter. Use a digital kitchen scale if possible to weigh your ingredients, especially flour, which can easily be over-measured using cups.
4. Melt Chocolate and Butter Slowly
When melting chocolate and butter together, use low heat to avoid scorching. A double boiler works best, but you can also use a microwave in 15- to 20-second increments, stirring between intervals.
5. Choose the Right Baking Pan
The pan you use can dramatically affect your brownies. A metal pan conducts heat better than glass or ceramic, ensuring evenly baked edges and a gooey center. Lining the pan with parchment paper not only prevents sticking but also makes it easier to lift out the brownies for slicing.
6. Keep an Eye on Baking Time
Brownies can go from perfectly fudgy to overbaked in minutes. Check them 5 minutes before the suggested bake time ends. Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they’re done. They’ll continue to cook as they cool.
7. Let Them Cool Completely
It’s tempting to dive right in, but letting your brownies cool allows them to set properly and enhances their flavor. For clean slices, cool them fully in the pan, then chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting.
8. Customize to Your Taste
Love a little crunch? Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts. Prefer a salty-sweet combo? Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top just before baking. The beauty of brownies is how easily they can be personalized to fit your cravings.
9. Create the Crackly Top
For that Instagram-worthy crackly top, beat your eggs and sugar well. This step incorporates air, which forms the shiny crust as the sugar rises to the surface during baking.
10. Store Brownies Properly
To keep brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable bag. Just thaw at room temperature for a quick dessert fix.
Bonus: Experiment with Serving Ideas
• Serve warm brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
• Dust with powdered sugar for a simple, elegant finish.
Master these tips, and you’ll be baking brownies that friends and family will rave about. The best part? Once you’ve perfected the basics, you can get creative and truly make the recipe your own.
Ingredients:
100 g gluten-free plain flour (I use freee plain)
50 g cocoa powder
250 g butter
250 g chocolate (I used dark and milk)
4 medium eggs
280 g caster sugar
180 g chocolate chips (I used a mix of white and milk)
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a brownie tray with a sheet of parchment paper leaving some overhanging off the side so you can easily get the brownies out later on
Melt together the chocolate and butter in your preferred method (I used a microwave) but ensure it doesn’t burn. Leave on the side to reach room temperature
Sieve or whisk together the flour and cocoa powder, and leave to one side.
In another bowl, crack the eggs in and beat together with the sugar. It will turn a light colour and slightly frothy.
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature, pour it into the egg and sugar. Fold it in with a spatula, it will initially marble but soon will mix together.
Next, fold in the flour and cocoa and ensure it’s fully mixed in.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tray and make sure it’s smooth and level
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. The brownie will slightly wobble when it comes out but will cook more as it cools.A
Allow it to fully cool before slicing (I know it’s hard!)
Enjoy!
