Tips
It is not a good idea to melt the chocolate in the microwave as the chocolate can easily overheat. When baking the brownies check after 20 minutes, if you overcook them the brownies may be a little too dry. If you want a less rich brownie, use dark Belgian cooking chocolate with 50% cocoa solids instead.
Ingredients
- 200g dark cooks chocolate, 72% cocoa solids, chopped into chunks
- 150g butter, cubbed
- 3 medium free range eggs ad 1 egg yolk
- 2tbsp cold water
- 125g Tate & Lyle Light at Heart - White
- 85g Self-raising flour
- 1tsp Baking Powder
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180 C/Gas 4 (if using a fan assisted oven adjust the temperature accordingly.
- 2. Grease and line a 18cm square tin.
- 3. Pop the chopped hocolate and butter into a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of very gently simmering water to melt.
- 4. Carefully remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool.
- 5. Lightly beat the eggs and egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- 6. Stir the Light at Heart White into the chocolate, followed by the egg mixture.
