Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 325ðF (165ðC).
-
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Melt the 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate and 8 tablespoons of butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
-
Beat in the 3 eggs, one at a time, until well combined and glossy.
-
Gently fold in the 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour just until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
-
Stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a thin crust forms on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
-
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
-
To make the frosting, melt the remaining 1.5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup evaporated milk (or heavy cream if preferred).
-
Beat the frosting mixture on medium-high speed for about 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes thick, pale, and fluffy, resembling a mousse.
-
Spread the fluffy frosting evenly over the completely cooled brownies.
-
Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before cutting into squares.
