Katharine Hepburn's Famous Chocolate Brownies

Gooey fudge-like brownies from scratch using Academy Award winning actress Katharine Hepburn's recipe. I will make the BEST EVER chocolate glaze for them too. They are simple to make and amazing! Worthy of an Oscar.

Things needed for brownies:
8 Tbls. butter

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp. salt

2 eggs

2 oz semi sweet baking chocolate

Glaze:

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

4 tbls. butter

1/2 cup unsweetned cocoa powder

2 tbls. sour cream

1/2 tsp instant coffee

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

pinch of salt

In a saucepan add 2 oz semi sweet baking chocolate and 8 tbls butter. Cook on medium low heat stirring until the chocolate and butter have melted and reaches a smooth consistency.

Transfer mixture to a bowl, Whisk in 1 cup sugar. It will be a bit grainy at this stage.

Whisk in 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 2 whole eggs.

Whisk in 1/4 cup of flour. You're thinking only a 1/4 cup? Yep, this is what makes them gooey and fudge like!

Pour batter into an 8X8 buttered baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 mins.

In a measuring cup add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir in 2 tbls sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp instant coffee

In a saucepan melt 4 tbls of butter

Whisk in 3/4 cup sugar, pinch of salt and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. It will be thick and grainy!

Slowly whisk in the whipping cream mixture. Take it to the stove and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes. It will not thicken up a lot.

Pour the glaze over the brownies. This recipe makes a bit more glaze than needed. Eat the rest with a spoon. It is amazing! Put them in the refrigerator to firm up the glaze.Then ENJOY!
