Why This Recipe Is So Good
This dessert is rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey, making it a perfect treat for any chocolate lover. The balance of sweetness and bitterness creates a satisfying bite every time. It’s simple to make but feels special enough for sharing or enjoying solo.
Step 1
Melt the chocolate, butter, and sugar together. Place them in a bowl over some hot water and stir until everything is smooth and combined.
Step 2
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the melted mix. Stir well, then pour in the hot milk and vanilla extract. Give it another good mix until smooth.
Step 3
Grease or line a baking tin, then pour in the batter. Pop it in the oven and bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 4
While the brownie is baking, whip the cream in a bowl for about 5 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, add the powdered sugar and keep whipping until you get soft peaks.
Step 5
When the brownie has cooled, spread the whipped cream gently over the top.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix the melted chocolate with a little hot milk until smooth, then drizzle it over the cream layer.
Step 7
Finish by sprinkling some cocoa powder on top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce also complement the rich chocolate taste beautifully. These brownies are great on their own or paired with a hot cup of coffee or milk.
Leftover Tips
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer freshness, keep them in the refrigerator, but bring them back to room temperature before serving. They can also be frozen for up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
