These brownies are wizardly and so rich, you'll feel guilty eating more than one (which shouldn't stop you).
Ingredients
- 8 oz. bittersweet (70 percent) chocolate
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, and set aside.
- To make brownie: Place chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over almost-simmering water. Stir frequently until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and very warm to touch.
- Remove from heat and set aside. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt at high speed with an electric mixer until mixture is thick and light in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in flour. Scrape in warm chocolate mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Set aside until needed.
- To make crust: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir in flour, then walnut pieces. Turn out into pan; press dough evenly across bottom. Bake until crust is fully golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven, but leave oven on. Scrape brownie batter onto hot crust and spread evenly, swirling surface. Return to oven and bake just until a toothpick inserted in two or three places comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Set pan on a rack to cool. (If serving brownies warm, cool just long enough to remove from pan without cracking.) To remove brownies from pan, lift edges of foil. Transfer to a cutting board. Gently slide a thin spatula between crust and foil; slide brownies off foil.
- To serve, cut with a heavy knife. Whip crème fraîche just until it holds its shape. Divide brownies among serving plates and grate nutmeg over brownies (use a Microplane or nutmeg grater to get the topping just right). Top with a dollop of crème fraîche and a little more grated nutmeg.
