How to Make Heart Shaped Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter gently. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Mix in the granulated sugar thoroughly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Carefully fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
- Pour your brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Cut into heart shapes or squares for serving.
