Does a blog that’s only been around a year and a half really need three recipes for truffle brownies? The most fudgy brownies topped with ganache? Ask my family and they’ll give a resounding YES. So here goes my third truffle brownie recipe, my 31st brownie recipe, and my 115th chocolate recipe. We may be a little preoccupied with chocolate.
Ganache Topped Truffle Brownies…adapted from Bon Appétit
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, divided into two 6 ounce portions, each chopped
11 tablespoons butter, cut into 1 tablespoon chunks
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
3/4 cup whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350º. Line 9 x 9 inch baking pan with non-stick foil or regular foil sprayed with cooking spray. Leave foil overhang on two sides for easy removal.
Combine 6 ounces of the chocolate and the butter in microwave safe bowl. Microwave using 30 second increments, stirring frequently till chocolate is melted and smooth. Let cool to lukewarm, about 5-10 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk in melted chocolate. Mix in flour. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake for 26-28 minutes or till toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Place pan on rack to cool.
Heat cream to a simmer (I used a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave). Add remaining 6 ounces of chopped chocolate and allow to stand 5 minutes. Whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour over cooled brownies. Let ganache cool at room temperature for about 4 hours. Use knife dipped in hot water and dried to cut. I chilled before cutting.

I don’t get bored with all your choc recipes Lizzy, how can I for its really tempting and looks yummy.
Just a question – how long can I keep this? I want to make this for our coming Deepavali festival which is in 3 weeks time. Does storing it in the fridge can keep it longer?
Looks like a simple recipe and I want to try making it for my guess to try.
Lizzy, and your readers say YESSS to!
These look just a sin, they must be wonderfull!!
Gorgeous dessert! Very, very tasty!
Nava, you could bake the brownie part weeks in advance. When well cooled, I’d wrap well in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze. Thaw in fridge a couple days before, and when thawed, make the ganache topping and glaze. For company, I’d do the topping only a day or two before and store covered in the fridge.
chocolate is a good thing, I say the more recipes and tries the better!
Mmm..sweet and delicious! Lovely chocolate treat!
These look awesome. I just posted a recipe for brownie – only my first one, I am behind you) I want to try your recipe
As far as I’m concerned you can never have too many chocolate or brownie recipes! This one looks fantastic! Keep em’ coming!
Glad you are faithful to the chocoholic club. With the motto of you can never get enough chocolate, who would decline to be a member?!
I do approve of the delicious way you have showcased chocolate here-just the name makes my mouth water. Delicious!
No complaints here with with the amount of chocolate recipes on here! This looks like another great one! I am a sucker for any fudgy brownie!
In my time in the kitchen, I’ve made two different brownie recipes! I like seeing all your variations, though. I can live vicariously through your brownies.
I’ll never have too many different brownie recipes! These look so good!
Lizzy, congratulations! You deserved the foodbuzz award, I think not only me who nominated you for that must be lots of other bloggers who make the same too for foodbuzz to consider! Keep up the good work!
And I would agree with your family!!
Oh but chocolate is just so EASY to become preoccupied with!

Lizzy – like all of your recipes, this one sounds exquisite! Brownies are such a great dessert…and I’m impressed that you not only made more of the same, but you know how may different brownies and chocolate recipes there are!
Last year this day I baked brownie, Its time again and I’m trying this recipe of your’s now.

So glad that you and your family are obsessed with chocolate. So glad that you share your recipes with us. These are too decadent…love them.

I am drooling over those delicious photos of your brownies! Looks so moist and chocolatey!
One can never have too many brownies on their foodie site! Yum!
Lizzy, these look amazing! I haven’t made brownies in a while and now I know why. I was subconsciously waiting for you to post this recipe
Liz! These are the most beautiful, decadent, luscious brownies I have ever seen! Hands down! I can’t imagine you could ever come up with one that’s better! (But I’ll be happy to try it if you do!) These are just fabulous!
This looks so delicious, I’m craving for some now!!
Very delicate looking dessert. I love your presentation. Will make sure I make some ganache next time I make some brownies. Always gives it a fancier look.
There is no such thing as too many chocolate recipes! These sound fabulous…perfectly delicious and decadent.
I feel like I’ve been so focused on fall desserts lately that I’ve been neglecting my true love: chocolate. These look amazing! Making them ASAP!
These brownies sound amazing literally the ganache seems perfect for a brownie. YUM.
You can post as many brownie recipes as you’d like, Lizzy! They are all so delicious! This one does not disappoint! Chocolate perfection!
I say keep those brownie recipes coming. Can never be too many brownie recipes. Or too many brownies.
Wow! You never disappoint Lizzy. These look amazing!
Lizzy-Such a coincidence that we both have brownie recipes up, and both are recipes are from Bon Appetit.
Love the ganache topping on your brownies, which were always a big favorite of mine. I can never get tired of brownies, or anything with chocolate, since I’m a huge chocolate lover, just like my granddaughter Gabby!
Printing this one out…thanks for sharing!
xoxo
You can never have enough truffle brownie recipes or brownie recipes in general! These look scrumptious- I SO wish I had one right now.
Hmmm… maybe I’ll bake brownies…
Yum these are beautiful! You can never have too many brownie recipes! Funny–because I was just thinking that I only have one brownie recipe posted!
I don’t know if there is such a thing as too many ganache brownie recipes!?! Rich and amazing!
Please oh PLEASE stay preoccupied with chocolate!
Hi Lizzy, today I post your oven baked donuts….they are wonderful…and I’m going to link your fantastic blog!!!
I’m probably going to prepare even these brownies….hugs, Flavia
Lizzy, there is nothing wrong with chocolate overload. Everyone is obsessed with chocolate and sweets with some chocolate, so please keep going.
Your family is lucky to have so many desserts on the table!
AHA! You counted your choc recipes before me. I normally LOVE doing that part!
Lizzy, I adore how you have posted yet another chocolate recipe and yet another brownie fudgy, ganachy winner. This is just finger-stickingly amazing!
31st brownie recipe?…& you can keep going!
I beg of you; please continue with your pre-occupation!
WOW!!!! Ganache on brownies?! This is so freaking fantastic. I just want to reach into the screen and grab one…. ::drools::

I’ll take all of the truffle brownie, chocolate, and ganache I can get! These look amazing!! Yum!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your 115th chocolate recipes and can’t wait to read the next 115!
And these brownies .. who could say No to them? I for one, I’ll ask for seconds
You can never have too many brownie recipes, or for that matter, too many chocolate recipes
These sound so decadent!
I think I might have made these same brownies (or something very similar) from Bon Appetite only I added Grand Marnier to the ganache!! We have nothing sweet in the house to eat… I wish I had one of these little kisses!!
How on earth do you stay so skinny making such decadent desserts?
You can’t have too many truffle brownie recipes, and you can’t be too preoccupied with chocolate! These look really yummy!
