Made with our 70% Luxury Dark Chocolate, this brownie is the ultimate rich, decadent treat.

Ingredients:

• 180g Unsalted Butter
• 150g 70% Luxury Dark Chocolate Block
• 3 Large Eggs
• 180g Soft Brown Sugar
• 100g Plain Flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Granules
• 1 tablespoon Hot Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Sea Salt (plus extra for sprinkling)

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan bake). Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking tin with baking paper, leaving a little overhang to lift the brownies out easily later.
2. In a heatproof bowl, over a pot of gently simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a small cup, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir the dissolved coffee and the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and brown sugar together until pale, thick, and creamy.
5. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs until combined.
6. Sift over the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, and fold through carefully until just incorporated — be careful not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth out the top.
8. Bake for 22–27 minutes, or until the top is set and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. While still warm, sprinkle a little sea salt over the surface if you like.
10. Allow to cool completely, before lifting out and slicing into squares.
11. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
