Instructions

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess on each side to help you lift the cooled brownies out of the pan.
Brownies:
-
Prepare a pot with boiling water then place a heat-proof mixing bowl on top.
-
Add chocolates, butter, and sugar. Whisk for roughly 8 to 10 minutes until chocolates have melted and sugar has dissolved. Ensure that the boiling water does not touch the bottom of the mixing bowl.
-
Set aside and allow the mixture to cool down briefly.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
-
Once the mixture has cooled down briefly, add the eggs and creme de cacao.
-
Whisk to combine, then fold in your sifted flour mixture, and finally your chocolate chips, until evenly incorporated.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Set aside.
Pecan Pie Topping:
-
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, honey, and brown sugar for roughly 5 to 7 minutes until light and the sugar has dissolved.
-
Add the heavy cream, salt, and pecans. Fold until evenly incorporated.
-
Pour the pecan pie topping in an even layer on top of the brownie batter. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
-
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the top is set and firm to touch, especially in the center.
-
Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. Serve!
