Gooey, Decadent Chocolate Brownie

Gooey, Decadent Chocolate Brownies

Serves 12 (maybe more if you cut the pieces smaller once chilled)

Ingredients:

• 350g 70% dark chocolate
• 200g butter
• 4 whole eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 250g caster sugar
• 100g white chocolate, chopped
• 50g flour
• 60g roasted peanuts (or any nuts you prefer)
• 80g raspberries

Cooking Steps:

1. Melt Chocolate and Butter:

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Melt 200g of the dark chocolate with the butter over a pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally until smooth.

2. Whisk Eggs and Sugar:

   • In a stand mixer, hand mixer or even by hand, whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar on high speed until the mixture triples in size and holds a ribbon shape.

3. Combine Mixtures:

   • Once the chocolate and butter have melted, gently fold them into the egg mixture.

4. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Fold in the remaining 150g of dark chocolate, chopped white chocolate, roasted peanuts, and raspberries.
   • Finally, fold in the flour until just combined.

5. Bake:

   • Pour the batter into a lined baking tray.
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center stops wobbling. Avoid using the knife test as the brownies will be gooey.

6. Cool and Set:

   • Leave the brownies to cool in the tray for a few hours to start setting.
   • For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate them after an hour of cooling.

7. Portion and Enjoy:

   • Once cooled and set, portion the brownies and enjoy!
