Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Brownie Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semisweet chocolate and butter together until smooth.
- Remove from heat and mix in the granulated and light brown sugars until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold into the chocolate mixture until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling and Cutting
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before transferring to a cutting board. Cut into squares or rectangles.
Preparation of Ganache
- In another saucepan, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chopped semisweet chocolate. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir until smooth and glossy.
Assembly
- Drizzle ganache over each petit four, allowing excess to drip off. Sprinkle with Fleur de sel.
- Let ganache set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, allow petit fours to rest for a day before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
