Dark Chocolate Brownies with Shiny Crust - Recipe

Tulip Chocolate

Who doesn't want to make brownies that make a satisfying crackle when sliced, thanks to that thin, shiny crust on top, while the inside stays fudgy and intensely chocolatey? Admit it—you've probably tried a bunch of times only to end up with a dull surface or a "skin" that just won't appear.

To save you from the frustration of endless trial and error, let’s break down this pro-level recipe used by the chefs!


Ingredients

Group A (Chocolate Melt):

  • 120g Tulip Dark Chocolate Compound (The secret to a bold chocolate flavor!)
  • 65g Butter
  • 30g Vegetable Oil

Group B (Egg Mixture):

  • 100g Whole eggs
  • 18g Egg yolks (For an extra-rich texture!)
  • 200g Granulated sugar (Don't reduce this! The sugar is what creates that shiny crust.)

Group C (Dry Ingredients & Toppings):

  • 75g All-purpose flour
  • 40g Cocoa powder
  • 75g Tulip Choco Chips
  • 75g Cashews (Roast them first for a savory crunch)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Tulip Dark Chocolate with the butter until smooth. Once melted, stir in the oil until well combined. Set aside until it's lukewarm.
  2. Mix the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Whisk gently until the sugar is completely dissolved. Keep in mind: if the sugar isn't fully dissolved, that shiny crust won't show up!
  3. Pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until smooth.
  4. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the batter. Add the choco chips and cashews. Stir gently just until combined.
  5. Pour the batter into a pan lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for 25–35 minutes, depending on your oven.
