These Quintuple Chocolate Brownies (which are more on the fudgy side than cakey) incorporate FOUR kinds of chocolate: unsweetened, bittersweet (or semi), milk and white. The milk is left as "chunks" within the finished product, and the white chocolate acts as an icing. I'm not even a big fan of white chocolate, but somehow turning it into a ganache really works, and I loved it! Dorie suggests adding nuts- no nuts for us though. We're not really a *nut* family :)
My son saw me making these this morning and asked if I would save him a piece for a snack after school. He popped in the door this afternoon and immediately requested a brownie.How about "Hello?" I said. How about, "How was your day, Mom?"
"Oh, Hi Mom. Can I please have one of those brownies?"
"Sure thing sweetie."
He spied a big container of raspberries lying on the counter.
"Can I please have some raspberries on my brownie?"
"Hmmm. Ok."
His impoliteness was forgiven. Brilliant child. The raspberries were a great addition, and they they made for a pretty picture!This recipe can be found HERE.
Those brownies realy do look "insane"! I made these once, but they weren't nearly as pretty!
ReplyDeleteOH MAN! Those look fabulous. That looks like a brownie from a textbook. I'll have to try these sometime. Don't let me forget.
ReplyDeleteNext time force your kids to do housework before they get a brownie.
Oh wow, with that frosting dripping off the sides, it looks killer and probably tastes that way too. Holy moley is all I can say!
ReplyDeleteAhh. You hit me where it hurts... That looks beautifully delicious!
ReplyDeleteLori!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet tooth is screaming right now. Quintuple Chocolate Brownies ... I'm in heaven just looking at them.
Just when you think brownies can't get any better.....HOLY COW!! My husband would love these. Is this a cookbook I need to invest in??? I have been seeing a lot of stuff from your circle of bakers lately referencing this Doris.
ReplyDeletei've had a regular brownie. i've had a double chocolate brownie. i've had a triple chocolate brownie. clearly, they get exponentially better. now you've gone and skipped quadruple and gone straight to quintuple? i can hardly wrap my head around it! :)
ReplyDeletehold on a hot second--does cocoa powder qualify as the fifth chocolate?
The raspberries are so real on the photo and I bet their tartness really worked well with the sweetness of the brownies.
ReplyDeleteLori, you consistently make me DROOL. I love looking at your blog and getting ideas for my weekend cooking adventures at CFY & EFY. I know you have already been awarded with the E award, but I am giving it to you again! You definitely deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI almost made these yesterday! I had such a chocolate craving, it must be something in the air! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look incredible! Raspberries on top is a genius idea, smart kid!
Sticky- Everything you make is pretty :)
ReplyDeleteEm- Not much housework yet for a 6 year old but I'll keep that in mind!
NP- Yeah, I love that drippy chocolate look!
Tarah- Thanks :)
Chuck- You need to make more sweets!
Foodie- I think the cookbook is worth investing in. I've enjoyed everything I've made from her.
Grace- Yes, the cocoa counts as the fifth chocolate. I should have mentioned that.
Nina- We love this combo.
Honey- You are so so sweet! Thanks for the compliment :)
Lyb- Thank you, and yes, he's pretty much a genius. I joked w/ him that maybe he should consider food photog. as a career someday.

ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!!
Yum! Chocolaty goodness!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, RecipeGirl, you've outdone yourself here. Those raspberries look so good on top, they almost look fake. I want some right now, but I haven't even had my morning pancakes yet! I'm gonna put some chocolate in them now...Glad I found these =)
ReplyDelete- The Peanut Butter Boy
I'm starting to see Brownies being in done in other countries and you know why? They taste THAT good!

ReplyDeleteYikes! CHocolate heaven! and raspberries too?
ReplyDeleteWell done..sounds great.

ReplyDeleteWhite chocolate ganache? I don't even care much for white chocolate but that has given me such a craving for these! They look fab-u-lous.
ReplyDeleteThose look so great!! It is hard to believe that they got 4 kinds of chocolate in there. The raspberries on top look good!
ReplyDeletei agree, that's one sinful brownies :) what a coincidence that we both tried Dorie's recipes this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMaryAnn- Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJessy- Thanks for stopping by :)

Those brownies look fabulous! And the addition of the raspberries, genius! Looks like you have a little foodie on your hands.
ReplyDeleteoh, my god I would kill for those brownies! I can't wait for the book to arrive (I recently ordered from Amazon)... And what a smart child the one of yours! Brownies and raspberries? Mmmm!
ReplyDelete*Hey thanks for the comments on my blog. You're really sweet :D
Quintuple chocolate brownies? Now we're really talking! Personally, I think your son knows where it's at. A career in food lies ahead?
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to get my hand on that book. Love the addition of the raspberries.
ReplyDeleteWow those look amazing! I love it when the texture is fudgy.
ReplyDeleteOK, it's official, I'm going to buy Dorie's book right now -- these brownies put me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteClearly, RG, you have taught your son well!
Decedent divineness brownies recipegirl!! Now how can I reach into my screen and pick one of those brownies up erm......
ReplyDeleteRosie x
I love brownies that are more on the fudgey side! Especially when they're topped with fresh raspberries!
ReplyDeleteTwo big slices over here, please!
That shouldn't even be allowed on the internet -- just mean for all those salivating.
ReplyDeleteReally my carrot sticks are just not cutting it.
Just to let you know I made these today. They are in the fridge now waiting for the glaze to set up. I am going to post these on my site also w/a reference to you and also Dorie....if you have a problem w/that please let me know and I will gladly take it down. Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to cut into them.
ReplyDeletei think i'm going to make this for a party i'm catering this weekend! i'll let you know if i do!!
ReplyDeletethey look soooo good :)
Looks beautiful. No nuts work for me - I'm not a nut person myself. I bet your son was thinking about these brownies all day. I just got Dorie's book. It's massive. There are enough recipes in there to bake for the next 10 years.
ReplyDeleteAh that last picture did me in!! Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWho knew, a child that asks for fruit on a brownie!! Unbelievable!
ReplyDeletethis does look so good.
Bookmarked immediately.
That was the first Dorie recipe I ever made - delicious stuff.
ReplyDeleteInsanely chocolate? Oh yeah, that has my name written all over it. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThose look so completely sinful, but I bet they are worth every calorie... gonna have to hit the treadmill just from looking at them! Just love Dorie!
ReplyDeleteWow...those do look insane! I've gotta try these!
ReplyDeletethe raspberries are a FAB addition...i just made these for the Tuesdays With Dorie week and i used raspberries for some photos as well and YES they work so well. LOVELY!
