 Recipe of the Week

 

 
Le Grá – Gooey Chocolate Brownies
 
Recipe supplied by Gráinne Fahy. For more tasty recipes follow on Instagram : www.instagram.com/legra_cookingandbaking/ and Facebook  www.facebook.com/grafahey/

 

Ingredients

100g milk chocolate, finely chopped

225g butter

4 eggs

275g caster sugar

100g self raising flour

80g cocoa powder

100g Animal Bars (5 bars)

75g Milky Bar (3 bars)

75g cooking chocolate 

100g mixed nuts, chopped or broken up

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160deg celsius for a fan assisted oven. Grease a deep sided baking tin and line with baking paper. I use a 30cm x 26xm tin. Set these aside.
  2. Melt 100g chocolate with the butter in a heat proof bowl over a pot of boiling water on the cooker. Be careful when doing this, the chocolate can burn quickly! Keep stirring as you go. Once melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool a little.
  3. Whisk the eggs using an electric mixer until stiff and holding their shape. Add the sugar to the eggs bit by bit whilst whisking, you should end up with a stiff, shiny mixture. Be patient with this, it might take a while but I promise you it’s worth the wait!
  4. Sieve in the flour and cocoa powder, gently using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold into the egg mixture.
  5. Add the chocolate and butter mix and the rest of the chocolate and chopped nuts. Fold these in until just combined, we don’t want to beat the air out of the mixture.
  6. Pour into the pre-prepared tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. For a baking tin similar in size to mine I usually bake for 38 minutes. Once properly baked the brownies should be crispy around the outside and slightly soft or fudgey in the centre.
  7. Once it has cooled slightly out of the oven, turn the brownies out onto a wire rack to cool fully before cutting into squares. This will ensure it’s easier to cut them without crumbling if it’s properly cool.
  8. Time to serve and enjoy! Perfect with some ice cream, whipped cream or even alone with a cup of tea.
