Indulge in the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream—the Triple Chocolate Brownie Stack. This dessert masterpiece features three layers of rich, fudgy brownies, each infused with a different variety of chocolate—dark, milk, and white—for a perfectly balanced flavor. Between each brownie, a silky chocolate ganache adds luscious texture, while a glossy dark chocolate drizzle cascades down the sides.

Finished with a delicate dusting of cocoa powder, shards of tempered chocolate, and a touch of edible gold, this elevated brownie dessert is perfect for fine dining plating, special occasions, and indulgent cravings.

Let’s walk through the ingredients and step-by-step instructions to create this showstopping plated dessert.


Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these high-quality ingredients to craft the perfect layered brownie stack.

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for richness)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chunks

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 6 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

For the Garnish:

  • Dark chocolate drizzle
  • Tempered chocolate shards
  • Cocoa powder dusting
  • Edible gold flakes (optional, for elegance)

Step 1: Prepare the Triple Chocolate Brownie Batter

A rich, fudgy brownie base is key to a perfectly stacked dessert.

Ingredients Used in This Step:

Dark chocolate, butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, flour, cocoa powder, salt, milk and white chocolate chunks

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in both sugars until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating until the batter becomes thick and glossy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, folding gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chunks for a melty, triple-chocolate experience.
  7. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until the flour disappears for extra fudgy brownies.


Step 2: Bake the Brownies to Perfection

Ingredients Used in This Step:

Brownie batter

Method:

  1. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly gooey (a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs).
  2. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into precise, equal squares for stacking.

💡 Pro Tip: For clean, sharp brownie edges, chill the brownies before cutting with a hot knife.


Step 3: Make the Silky Chocolate Ganache

A smooth, glossy ganache enhances the decadence of this dessert.

Ingredients Used in This Step:

Dark chocolate, heavy cream, butter

Method:

  1. Heat the heavy cream until warm but not boiling.
  2. Pour over the finely chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
  3. Whisk gently until fully combined and smooth, then stir in butter for extra silkiness.

💡 Pro Tip: Let the ganache cool slightly before assembling—it should be thick yet spreadable.


Step 4: Assemble the Triple Chocolate Brownie Stack

The key to a visually stunning plated dessert is precision and layering.

Ingredients Used in This Step:

Brownies, chocolate ganache, dark chocolate drizzle, tempered chocolate shards, edible gold flakes

Method:

  1. Stack the first brownie square on a serving plate.
  2. Spoon a layer of chocolate ganache over the brownie and spread evenly.
  3. Repeat with two more brownie layers, adding ganache between each.
  4. Drizzle warm dark chocolate over the stack, allowing it to flow naturally down the sides.
  5. Garnish with tempered chocolate shards for height and elegance.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder, then delicately place a few edible gold flakes for a luxury touch.

💡 Pro Tip: Use a ring mold or acetate strips to keep the stack clean and structured while plating.
