Use quality ingredients—you’ll taste the difference in every layer.
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed = deeper flavor)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso (optional—but makes chocolate shine!)
Bonus Add-In:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or white chocolate chunks, to fold in
- Sea salt flakes for garnish
How to Make the Ultimate Brownie Stack
Step 1: Melt the Magic
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together using a double boiler or in 20-second microwave bursts. Stir until glossy and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix Wet & Sweet
Add the white and brown sugar to the chocolate mixture. Stir until fully dissolved—this is what gives that crackly top. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Then stir in the vanilla and coffee.
Pressure point: Mix with passion here. This is where the richness is born.
Step 3: Sift & Combine
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mix. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix.Then fold in chocolate chunks if using.
Step 4: Bake to Fudgy Glory
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch square pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs—not clean!
Let cool completely before cutting. Yes, wait. The fudgy magic needs time to settle.
Stack It. Own It. Love It.
Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares, then layer them like bricks of chocolate gold. You can go classic with:
- Brownie → chocolate ganache → brownie → ganache → brownie
- Or go insane with layers of marshmallow fluff, caramel, Nutella, whipped cream, or even ice cream.
Top it all off with a slow chocolate drizzle, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a mountain of chocolate shavings.
Your stack, your rules. But make no mistake—this stack is an edible monument to pleasure.
