Stop what you are doing right now and make this brownie. OK, so you might need to go to the supermarket and buy some things first because, unlike the domestic goddess I am, you’re not going to have these ingredients on hand. Pfft! I’m taking the piss. I had to brave Woolworths on a Saturday morning to buy the chocolate for this recipe but it was oh-so-worth-it. We celebrated Father’s Day a day early this year because we had committed to a Sunday working bee at the New England Sailing Club. I made this immediately after lunch - it literally took about 30 minutes - so it was still warm and gooey when I served it with double cream and ice cream. My mother-in-law commented that it was unusual for me not to have everything ready beforehand, but when she tasted the brownie she understood why it had to be a last-minute thing.
This is based on a Lindt classic chocolate brownie recipe.
INGREDIENTS
75 g unsalted butter
3 x 100 g Lindt Excellence Raspberry Intense dark chocolate, broken up like Jennifer and Brad
3 eggs
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/2 tsp salt
100 g Lindt Excellent Extra Silky white chocolate, broken up like Angelina and Brad
1 cup plain flour
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180 °C.
Grease a 20 x 20 cm square baking tin and line with baking paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a non-stick pot, stirring regularly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined.
Add the melted chocolate and butter, and beat gently by hand or on a low setting on a mixer until evenly incorporated.
Add the white chocolate and flour, and mix until just combined. Do not over mix, otherwise you will fuck up the texture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake approximately 15 minutes. Do not fucking over bake, otherwise it will be as dry as a woman being aroused by Ben Shapiro. I’m talking DAP DAP DAP.
Remove from oven and tin, preferably without burning yourself.
You can serve it immediately, but it is super messy to cut as the middle is like molten chocolate. Or leave it to cool and eat it later for a more chewy texture - if your will power is strong enough to last until then you smug fucker.
