A rich chocolate brownie base is topped off with a layer of chocolate ganache in this truly decadent dessert.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in corn syrup. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in nuts, if desired.
Spread batter into a greased 10-inch spring form pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 1 inch from side of pan comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For ganache, in a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Set aside until cool.
Remove brownie from spring form pan. Place a wire rack over waxed paper and set brownie on rack.
Pour ganache over the brownie; spread over top and let drip down sides. Refrigerate until ganache is completely set.
