Ingredients (for 12
filled brownies):
Topping:
½ cup granulated sugar (I’m using sanding sugar)Grated zest of 1 orange
Brownies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter½ cup dark chocolate chips (for the entire recipe, you’ll need one 10 ounce package, divided)
¾ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Filling:
½ cup orange marmalade (more or less)
Ganache:
1 cup heavy cream1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray
and set aside. Mix the topping ingredients together in a small bowl and set
aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat
and then add the chocolate chips. Once the chips melt, remove the pan from the
heat and add in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder,
espresso powder and salt. Whisk until well combined. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ of the way full.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center of a brownie comes
out clean. Remove to a rack to cool.
While the brownies are baking, make the ganache by warming
the cream in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Pour over the chocolate
chips in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and set
aside.
Now for the fun part—line up wax paper on your work surface
and place wire cooling racks on top. Spray both sides of a teaspoon with
cooking spray. Using the bottom of the teaspoon, gently dent each brownie a bit
in the center (to hold the filling). Remove the brownies to a wire rack (the
best way to do this is to run a butter knife around the edges and use your
teaspoon to lift each brownie out) and fill each indentation with orange
marmalade. Spoon the ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Let
the brownies rest for about 10 minutes and then sprinkle with the topping.
