Calories 219kcal
Ingredients
- 200 g Butter or Margarine
- 200 g Dark Chocolate
- 250 g Caster Sugar
- 4 medium eggs
- 125 g Plain Flour
- 50 g Cocoa
- 150 g White Chocolate Chips
- 100 g Raspberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Grease a deep baking tray and line with baking paper.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes until they are light and fluffy (I use an electric whisk on high power) and set to one side.
- Gently melt the chocolate and butter over a bain-marie.
- Remove from the heat and fold in the sugar and eggs, until the colour is even.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa and stir until smooth.
- Tip in the white chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly spread.
- Pour half of this Valentine's Brownies mixture into the lined baking tray and tilt to spread into the corners.
- Lightly press in the raspberries.
- Pour on the rest of the mixture, spreading with the back of a metal spoon so that the raspberries are covered, and the mixture is even.
- Bake Valentine's Brownies in the oven for 20 minutes.
Notes
- Whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and has noticeably increased in volume. This can take 5 minutes with an electric whisk and will take longer by hand.
- I bake my brownies in a greaseproof paper-lined baking tray that's around 15" by 10" and an inch deep, so they are fairly thin. If your tin is smaller and your brownies thicker you may need to increase the bake time.
- Brownies have a fudgy texture if you take them out of the oven when the sides are coming away from the tin but the middle is still a little underdone, they will cook more as they cool, but if they are still too underdone put them in the fridge for an hour to set.
- Frozen or fresh raspberries are fine. If using frozen, don't thaw first - add frozen. You might just need to bake your brownies for a few minutes more.
