A fudge brownie is dense, moist, and chocolate-filled, with a subtle sweetness that’s impossible to resist. While other brownie varieties may be delicious in their own right, nothing quite compares to a true fudge brownie.
The Secret Recipe of Fudge Brownies: Chocolate Ganache
Whenever you think of making fudge brownies, think of chocolate ganache first. This awesome mixture of chocolate and cream is the key to making your brownies extra fudgy.

Not only does it add richness to your brownies, but it also helps to keep them moist and gooey, just the way we all like them.
How to Make Chocolate Ganache
Making chocolate ganache is easier than you might think. The fact that it’s the secret to fudgier brownies doesn’t automatically make it difficult to make. Simply heat an equal amount of chocolate and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat.

Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. That’s it! You’ve just found the secret to your fudgy brownie.
Skillfully Introduce Ganache into Your Brownie Batter
Now that you’ve whipped up a batch of your smooth chocolate ganache, it’s time to take your brownie game to the next level.

Instead of just mixing the ganache into the batter as you would with your traditional cake, we’re going to layer it between the batter, creating different layers of sweetness throughout the brownies.
The Layering Technique
This process can appear a bit tricky but follow our lead and you will get it right. First, spread half of your brownie batter into the bottom of your baking dish. Then, layer a moderate portion of ganache on top.

Repeat this process with the remaining batter ganache. Then spread gently with a knife and you are done.
It’s Baking Time!
This is one of the most satisfying steps because you know your brownies are almost ready. Simply move your layered brownie masterpiece into the oven and bake. As the brownies bake, the ganache will melt creating a fudgy texture that’s almost irresistible.

Just be sure not to overbake them, you want them to be soft and gooey in the middle and not hard.
Your Moment of Indulgence
This is the moment you have been waiting for! Once your brownies are out of the oven and you have let them cool (if you can wait that long), it’s time for you to get your reward.
