TRUFFLE BROWNIES

4 eggs
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 C sugar
2 Tb pure vanilla extract
2 sticks unsalted butter
8 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
1 C all-purpose flour
Chocolate Ganache Topping (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Using a stand mixer, beat the eggs and salt together until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until the eggs are thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat an additional minute.
Put the butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (glass preferred) and microwave on high for 1 minute, 30 seconds. Stir to insure that the chocolate has melted. Microwave an additional 30 seconds may be needed. You want a smooth even consistency.
With the mixer running at medium speed, pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture (careful not to cook the eggs). Add flour and beat another minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat another minute.
Spray two 9 inch cake pans (a foil pan works well if gifting the brownies) with Pam (or any pan release spray) and pour the batter into the pans evenly. Bake on the top rack in the oven (rotate pans halfway through baking) for 15 to 20 minutes until the center is just set (a test with a toothpick in the center will be slightly gooey). Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. Top with the ganache and freeze for at least 1 hour or overnight. Brownies can be kept in the freezer for up to three months if properly covered.
To serve, remove from freezer and slice immediately into 1 inch pie-shaped servings (about 350 calories per serving). Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
Chocolate Ganache Topping:
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
½ C heavy whipping cream
Put the chocolate chips and cream into the glass bowl previously used to melt the chocolate and microwave on high 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir with a whisk until well mixed (another 30 seconds in the microwave may be required). The Ganache should be smooth and shiny. Use immediately. Spread the Ganache over the brownies and spread all the way to the edge of the pan.
