Holiday Deserts

I recently came from TGIFriday and i ordered their deserts and 1 of em was the Brenner Brownie. I suggest that if your having a family meal to make this meal because it will really have peoples mouths watering

Small Batch Max Brenner Brownies

1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
10 ½ ounces dark chocolate (approx. 70%), roughly chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 generous teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (divided use)
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8 inch square pan with non-stick foil or line with parchment.

Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe mixing bowl.

Place the butter and cream in a saucepan set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Pour over chocolate and let sit about a minute or until chocolate begins to melt. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool. Note: If chocolate doesn’t melt completely, you can microwave the bowl for 20 second and continue to stir. That’s why I suggested a microwave-safe mixing bowl.

Add vanilla to cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Whisk in sugar and salt.

Sift 1/4 cup of the flour into the chocolate mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until combined. Toss nuts with remaining flour. Stir into batter.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Allow brownies too cool. Wrap and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Yields: As many as 36 brownies or as few as 8
