Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly mist the parchment with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk until you see a thick and luscious batter come together seamlessly.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the rich fudge ganache. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle simmer. Once it bubbles slightly, remove it from the heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, allowing them to rest for a few minutes.
- Stir gently until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy, creating the perfect topping for your Homemade Cosmic Brownies.
- Once the ganache is smooth, pour it over the cooled brownies, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface. Before the ganache sets, sprinkle the rainbow chips generously on top.
- Allow the ganache to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing the brownies into squares.
