Notes
Storage: Store frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let come to room temperature before serving for best texture. Make-Ahead: Brownie base can be baked, cooled, wrapped tightly, and kept at room temperature for 1 day before frosting. Ganache can be made, cooled, and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead; let soften slightly at room temperature before whipping. Variations: Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts to the batter or sprinkle sea salt on the ganache. For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter and coconut cream.
