Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe

I was so excited that my bestest was coming to stay with us last month and as usual with all guests this meant I had to create a welcome party of baked goods for them. As well as some trusted (and often made cupcakes) I decided to make Chocolate Brownie Topped with White Chocolate. Here is my recipe:

Ingredients

• 400g of Milk Chocolate
• 300g of Butter
• 240g of Brown Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 100g of Flour
• 1 tsp of Baking Powder
• 150g of White Chocolate

 

Chocolate Brownie Topped with White Chocolate

Method

1. Start by greasing a round spring-form baking tin and lining it with baking paper and preheating the oven to 180C
2. It is easiest with this recipe to prepare all ingredients into bowls before you start baking so:
3. Sieve the flour and baking powder together and set aside
4. In another bowl measure the butter and sugar out and also set aside
5. Lightly beat the eggs and set aside
6. Then start by melting the chocolate in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water)
7. Once the chocolate has melted take off of the heat but leave over the water
8. Add the butter and sugar and stir until it has all melted
9. Take the bowl off of the water and onto a cool surface
10. Leave to cool slightly before adding the beaten egg and mixing
11. Then gently fold the flour into the chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined
12. Pour into the baking tin and leave to level for a few minutes
13. Then place into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until it begins to firm slightly
14. Once cooked, take out of the oven and allow to cool fully in the tin
15. After the brownie has cooled melt the white chocolate in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water)
16. Then use a spoon to decorate the top of the brownie with the white chocolate
17. Place into the fridge so the chocolate sets
18. Then you can cut as desired and serve

This recipe is very similar to the one I serve warm and is just as delicious. Even when cool the Chocolate Brownie Topped with White Chocolate remains gooey and moist in the middle and is chocolatey rich.

I always recommend this recipe as being worth it, I mean have you met anyone who didn’t like a brownie?

Warm Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Now the weather is starting to cool in Berlin, it means that hot desserts are actually able to be enjoyed, so with friends coming over for dinner it did not take me long to come up with a dessert idea. This brownie recipe is a slightly altered version of one I have made before but with a twist, here is my recipe for Warm Chocolate Brownie and Cream:

Ingredients

• 360g of Milk Chocolate
• 300g of Butter
• 240g of Brown Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 100g of Flour
• 1 tsp of Baking Powder
• Pouring Cream

12. Then place into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until it begins to firm slightly
13. Allow to cool just a little so it begins to set but is still warm 
14. Then cut to desired size and pour over the cream to serve

This Warm Chocolate Brownie and Cream came out exactly as I wanted and tasted exactly as I hoped – amazing. I would highly recommend this for a cool autumn evening treat.

The best bit, half was leftover so we got to enjoy it for the rest of the weekend too!
