How to Make Cosmic Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a medium saucepan.
- Once melted and glossy, whisk in the granulated and brown sugars until creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, salt, flour, and cornstarch, and then gradually combine with wet ingredients.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set and center is slightly soft.
- Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then stir in chopped chocolate until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over cooled brownies and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle rainbow chocolate chips over the ganache and press gently.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
For the best texture, use room temperature eggs and avoid overmixing the batter. Chill the brownies after adding ganache for a glossy finish.
