This Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups Recipe is a fudgy and decadent recipe, which is made with bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate chips. It’s the perfect individual dessert, ready in about an hour.
Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups Recipe Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into large pieces
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (6 ounces) milk-chocolate chips
- 1 cup (6 ounces) white-chocolate chips
How To Make Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups
- Prep Oven and Melt Chocolate: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (a double boiler), melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate, stirring until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the sugar. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time until everything is well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Whisk in the cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold in the flour with a spatula until it is just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.
- Fill Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each one nearly to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops appear set and the edges are slightly puffed.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownie cups cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The centers may sink slightly as they cool.

Recipe Tips
- How to get a fudgy center? The key is to not overbake the brownie cups. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not completely clean. They will continue to set as they cool.
- Can I make this without a double boiler? Yes. You can melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Why did my brownie cups sink in the middle? This is perfectly normal for fudgy brownies! The slight dip in the center creates a perfect little well for holding a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of sauce.
- What’s the best way to chop chocolate? For chocolate bars, a serrated knife works wonderfully to create a mix of fine shavings and larger chunks.
What To Serve With Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups
These rich brownie cups are a fantastic dessert on their own, but they are even more decadent when served with:
- A small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
- A drizzle of warm caramel or chocolate sauce
- A dollop of whipped cream and fresh raspberries
How To Store Brownie Cups
- Room Temperature: The brownie cups can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: For longer storage, you can freeze the cooled brownie cups in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
