  • 6

Ingredients

  • 1 ⁄2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 ⁄4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (18.3-ounce) package fudge brownie mix, such as Betty Crocker
  • Garnish: confectioners’ sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a small microwave-safe bowl, place chocolate and cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring in between each interval. Refrigerate until firm, approximately 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°. Place a cast-iron mini cake pan or muffin pan in oven to preheat.
Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Carefully remove pan from oven; spray with nonstick baking spray with flour. Fill wells halfway full with batter. Place 1 teaspoon chilled chocolate mixture in center of each batter-filled well; top evenly with remaining batter.
Bake until set, approximately 16 minutes. Let cakes cool in pan 2 minutes. Carefully invert cakes onto a wire rack. Garnish with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
