- Let cool in the pan before cutting into generous squares.
🍫Pour the Chocolate Sauce
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan until the edges begin to simmer.
- Off the heat, add chocolate and butter.
- Using a spatula, stir until smooth and glossy. Add sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What about boxed brownie mix?
Certainly! Homemade is always best, but in a pinch, a good boxed mix will do, especially with a splash of vanilla or a handful of extra chocolate chips.
2. What if I don’t have a sizzling plate?
You can always get a small cast-iron pan or metal tray. Just make sure to heat it really well before assembling.
3. Would it be possible to prepare this eggless?
Sure thing! You can replace either the eggs with flax eggs or use yogurt, but the texture may vary a little bit.
4. Can I substitute milk chocolate in place of dark chocolate?
For sure, if that is what you want. Dark chocolate does lend it a more intense flavor, though.
5. Am I allowed to make everything in advance?
Yes! Brownies and sauce can be made a day ahead. You simply have to reheat the sauce while sizzling and serving on a preheated pan.
