Recipe for "Irresistable Brownies With Ganache"


Tips

You can add any type of nuts or even chocolate chips into this recipe.

When double-boiling, do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the boiling water underneath. Let the steam of the boiling water heat the bowl and melt the chocolates in them.

Unlike any other cake, you don't want to have a clean toothpick when you test the center of the cake. If it happens, it means that you have over baked the brownies and it will be dry and hard on the inside. Brownies should be moist and a bit clumpy.

All the best! :)

Ingredients

Brownie Mix
Dark Chocolate (Chopped) 150 g
Butter (Cut Into Pieces) 1/2 cup
Caster Sugar 3/4 cup
Cocoa Powder 2 tbsp
Vanilla Extract 1 tsp
Eggs 3
Plain Flour 3/4 cup
Walnuts (Choppped) 100 g
Chocolate Ganache
Dark/milk Chocolate 100 g
Heavy Cream 1/2 cup

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan (2-3 inches thick) with parchment/baking paper. Set the square pan aside.

2

Melt the chocolate and butter in a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double-boil) until it is well incorporated. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and cocoa powder.

3

Next, add in vanilla extract and eggs (one at a time). Beat the mixture well using a whisk or spatula after each addition.

4

Then, stir in the flour and walnuts. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake it for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist clumps clinging on it. Do not over bake! When it's ready, take out from the oven and cool.

5

While waiting for the brownie to cook or cool, finely chop or grate the chocolate and put them into a heatproof bowl. Next, heat the heavy cream on medium heat until it starts to boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute before stirring.

6

After 1 minute, stir the chocolate with a spoon or spatula until all is melted and mixed well. Pour the ganache on the brownie and let it set on the counter for 10 minutes.

Finally, it's time to eat! Enjoy your gooey-moist-decadent brownies! :D
