Notes
For an extra gooey texture, be cautious not to overbake the brownies; they should still be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. To enhance the flavor, you can toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter. If you prefer a more pronounced vanilla flavor, consider adding a vanilla bean or vanilla paste to the cream mixture before swirling it into the batter.
