100-Hour Fudgy Brownies Alvin Zhou 2020-10-17 | I rarely make brownies, but when I do, I like to spend lots of time on them! Espresso infused brown butter, two kinds of chocolate, fluffy whipped sugar, and cold brew make them intensely rich and extremely fudgy. Even though the entire process takes 100 hours, I think it's worth it!Instagram: instagram.com/alvin.zhoumusic by City GirlJi-Eun's Sunsetsoundlessly like lost soulsWinter Fields (ft. mklachu)Memories of a DreamTwitter ► twitter.com/citygirltimeBandcamp ► city-girl.bandcamp.comSpotify ► https://spoti.fi/2z9NHL6My video style is heavily inspired by Asian vlog channels I admire, such as Zoe, haegreendal, HidaMari Cooking, EMOJOIE Cuisine, Nino's Home, Cooking Tree, Wife's Cuisine, and more.

Out of curiosity, I've actually baked off a batch immediately to compare to the 100-hour batch, and it's not nearly as delicious to me. It's kinda like watching a movie in 480p while your friends watch it in 4K - still good but could probably be a lot better.Thank you for watching!
