Description
Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups are individual servings of rich, chocolatey brownies baked inside a muffin tin, with the added luxury of three types of chocolate chips: semi-sweet, milk, and white. Topped with a smooth and glossy chocolate ganache, these brownies offer the perfect combination of textures—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and bursting with chocolatey goodness.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
For the Ganache Topping:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Prepare the Brownie Cups:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet, white, and milk chocolate chips.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Ganache Topping:
- Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
3. Assemble:
- Top the Brownies: Once the brownie cups are completely cooled, drizzle or spoon the ganache over the top of each brownie cup.
- Set the Ganache: Allow the ganache to set for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. Serve:
- Serve the brownie cups as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra treat!
Notes
These rich and gooey brownie cups are best enjoyed warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days—or freeze for a fudgy treat anytime!
