Ingredients

  • For Sizzling Brownie

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

    • 2 large eggs, at room temperature

    • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)

    • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 200 gm roughly chopped chocolate

    • ¼ cup chocolate chips

    • ¼ cup walnut chunks

PREPARATION

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease a baking pan* with butter and line with parchment paper (or baking paper); set aside. Sift flour and cocoa powder and keep aside.
  2. 2

    Combine eggs and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in color (another minute).
  3. 3

    Melt chocolate on a double boiler, when chocolate is half melted add in the butter to make it a sauce consistency. Add the melted chocolate as well as vanilla essence to the egg and sugar mixture.
  4. 4

    Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Do not whisk but instead use cut and fold technique to mix.
  5. 5

    Fold in chocolate chips and walnut pieces.
  6. 6

    Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly, and top with remaining chocolate chips and walnuts.
  7. 7

    Bake for 25-30 minutes for just under-done brownies (fudgier texture) or until the centre of the brownies no longer jiggles and is JUST set to the touch. OR 35-40 minutes if you like your brownies well set and firm. NOTE: Brownies will continue baking and set in the hot pan out of the oven. If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out dirty for fudge-textured brownies.
  8. 8

    After 15-20 minutes, carefully remove them out of the pan and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into the brownie. They set while they cool.
  9. 9

    Heat a sizzling platter, add chocolate sauce, brownie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To finish, pour some more chocolate sauce and enjoy before the ice cream melts.
