Chocolate Brownie with Sea Salt
6 servings
60 minutes
Chocolate brownie with sea salt is a refined dessert of American cuisine that combines the rich flavor of dark chocolate with a delicate texture. Its history dates back to the late 19th century when bakers sought the perfect balance between cake and cookie. The uniqueness of this version lies in the contrast between sweetness and the slight saltiness of sea salt, which enhances the depth of flavor. Walnuts add a pleasant crunch, while butter and cream make the brownie especially soft. It is perfect for a cozy evening with a cup of coffee or as an exquisite dessert for a festive table. The secret to its success is precise adherence to baking temperature and time to achieve the characteristic moist center and slightly crispy crust.
