How to Make 2 Ingredient Brownies

PIN IT

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt your chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs for 2–3 minutes until they’re pale and slightly frothy. This helps create that signature crackly top.

Step 3: Combine

Slowly stream the melted chocolate into the eggs while whisking constantly. The batter will thicken into a glossy, fudgy dream.

Step 4: Bake

Pour into your prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until set on top but still soft in the middle.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before slicing. (I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me—they’re even fudgier once set!)

What to Serve with 2 Ingredient Brownies

• A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use room-temperature eggs so the batter mixes smoothly.

Storage Instructions

Store in an airtight container:

• Room temp: up to 2 days.
• Fridge: up to 5 days.
• Freezer: wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
