Brownie with Chocolate Ganache 巧克力酱布朗尼

My family love brownie especially my hubby, and i had tried few recipes before, but still could not win their heart. This time they were enjoyed this new brownie that i made. I think the winning point of this brownie is the sweet chocolate ganache on top.

If you intend to try this recipe, please do not remove brownie from the pan before pour in the chocolate like me, a bit messy do this way..

My son Lucas enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream ^_^

My hubby prefer to have it with a cup of black coffee ^_^
