These fudgy brownies have a rich chocolate flavor, a slight bitterness, a thin crust, and a soft, moist center. This easy fudgy brownie recipe is perfect for true chocoholics.
What should a real fudgy chocolate brownie be like? It literally melts in your mouth: the center is moist and tender, while the crust holds its shape. Brownies are best served slightly warm, preferably with a scoop of ice cream. As a true chocoholic, I think they taste even better than a chocolate bar!
Of course, there are many other brownie recipes that use cocoa powder instead of chocolate, replace eggs with bananas, or add different ingredients. The taste and texture of these desserts will be different from the classic version — for some, better, for others, not so much. So don’t stop at one recipe; try different versions and find your perfect brownie.

- baking powder
How to Make Fudgy Brownies
Melt the butter and chocolate
Put the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan.
Prepare a double boiler
Pour a couple of centimeters of water into a saucepan that is the same size as or slightly larger than the saucepan with the chocolate. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Place the saucepan with the chocolate and butter on top, making sure it does not touch the boiling water.
Stir constantly until the butter and chocolate are completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Beat the eggs and sugar
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer or whisk for several minutes, until the mixture is smooth, light, and foamy.
Combine the mixtures
Gradually pour the chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring well after each addition.
Add the flour
Sift the flour and baking powder into the chocolate and egg mixture. Mix gently with a silicone spatula until smooth and well combined.
Prepare the pan
Grease the baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the brownies on the middle rack for about 20 minutes using conventional top-and-bottom heat.
Don’t overbake the brownies — the center should remain very soft and fudgy. You don’t need to wait for a toothpick to come out clean; that can mean the brownies are already overbaked.
Baking time is approximate and may vary depending on your oven. When making fudgy brownies, it’s better to slightly underbake them than to overbake them.
Serve
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
For decoration, sprinkle the brownies with sifted powdered sugar or cocoa powder and serve with a scoop of ice cream.
