Perfectly fudgy and deeply chocolatey, they combine dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and tahini for a decadent treat with a subtle nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate and Butter Mixture

  • 135g dark chocolate (72%), coarsely chopped
  • 120g unsalted butter, cold from the fridge
  • 10g Dutch process cocoa or regular unsweetened cocoa, sifted (black cocoa recommended)

Brownie Batter

  • 2 large eggs (about 100g, not including shells)
  • 135g caster sugar
  • 65g light or dark brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 65g all-purpose flour, sifted

Tahini Swirl

  • 90g tahini, at room temperature
  • 30g powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the parchment extends beyond the edges to form a sling for easy brownie removal. Secure with binder clips if desired.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt them in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each until combined.
  3. Add Cocoa Powder: Sift the cocoa powder over the melted chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
  4. Mix Eggs and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, caster sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and increased in volume.
  5. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Add the chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mix. Stir until incorporated, then add salt and vanilla extract and mix well.
  6. Add Flour: Fold in the sifted flour by hand until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  7. Prepare Batter in Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and tap it on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Let it sit briefly, then tap again for further bubble removal.
  8. Prepare Tahini Swirl: In a small bowl, mix tahini and powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free. Transfer this to a piping bag and cut a small hole at the tip.
  9. Apply Tahini Swirl: Pipe horizontal lines closely together across the brownie batter, then use a knife or toothpick to drag up and down, creating a feathered swirl pattern. Alternatively, you may swirl the tahini on top as desired.
  10. Bake Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 28 minutes. Check after 20 minutes; the edges should be set and the center slightly fudgy with a few moist crumbs when tested with a skewer. Avoid overbaking for maximum fudginess.
  11. Cool Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Use the parchment sling to lift them from the pan.
  12. Slice and Store: Cut the brownies into pieces using a sharp knife. Chilling them first makes cutting easier. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or refrigerate for up to one week.

Notes

  • Using caster sugar will give the brownie a glossy top, but granulated sugar can be substituted.
  • Black cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavor and darkens the brownie color.
  • Cold butter is acceptable for melting in this recipe.
  • Underbaking slightly will keep the brownies fudgy; watch baking time carefully.
  • Chilling the brownies before slicing can improve cutting precision.
  • Store airtight to maintain freshness and texture.
