🍫 Chocolate Brownies
By Melisha David

This is a fudgy brownie made with a rich chocolate ganache, finished off with melted chocolate and topped with crunchy pecan nuts. Perfect for special occasions… or simply when the craving hits 😉

📝 Recipe
Step 1: Chocolate Ganache
100g Lindt Dark Chocolate (or chocolate of choice)
150g Chocolate Chips
1 tablespoon coffee
1¼ cups melted butter

Place all ingredients over a double boiler and melt until smooth.
Set the ganache aside.

Step 2: Batter
2 cups white sugar
½ cup muscovado or brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1 teaspoon salt
6 eggs

Beat the sugars, vanilla, salt, and eggs, adding the eggs one at a time. Beat for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Pour in the prepared ganache and continue beating for another 5 minutes (10 minutes total).

Step 3: Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in:
1 cup cake flour
1 cup cocoa powder
Do not overmix. Fold in chopped pecan nuts.

Step 4: Baking & Finishing
Pour the batter into a greased and lined 35cm × 25cm baking tin.
Bake at 170°C for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, tap the tin 4 times on the counter, return to the oven and bake for a further 20 to 25 minutes.
(Oven temperatures may vary.)

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Melt 150g milk chocolate, spread over the brownies and top with pecan nuts.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy ❤️

📌 Baking Tips • Don’t overmix once the flour and cocoa are added
• Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on your bake
• That tap on the counter helps create the perfect brownie texture
