How to make Fudgy Brownie for Two (Small Batch Brownie)

First off, preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two 8 oz ramekins and keep aside
Melt 4 tbsp. of butter in the microwave (I used a microwave safe measuring cup). Now, add the sugar to the melted butter and nuke it in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Take it out, give it a vigorous stir and put it back in for another 30 seconds. Next, stir in the cocoa powder, instant coffee granules and vanilla essence along with the fat pinch of salt.
Once the mixture has cooled down a bit, crack in the egg and stir to combine.
Next, sift the flour and baking powder into the measuring cup and mix in well.
Lastly fold in the chocolate chips and divide the batter equally into the two prepped ramekins.
Now, bake for 17 to 20 minutes till done.
Let the brownies cool down a bit, dust with confectioner’s sugar and decorate with sprinkles.
And your Fudgy Brownie for Two (Small Batch Brownie) is ready! There won’t be any leftovers, I promise!
