Chocolate Orange Brownies

Another recipe perfect for an Autumn day, or dare I say the C word… Christmas!

This recipe is adapted from ‘Jane’s Patisserie’ recipe, and I must say these brownies are delicious.

Ingredients

  • 150g Dark Chocolate
  • 1 Terry’s Chocolate Orange (157g)
  • 200g Unsalted Butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 275g Caster Sugar
  • 90g Plain Flour
  • 35g Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Orange Extract (or the zest of an orange)
  • 1 Terry’s Chocolate Orange (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a brownie tin with baking parchment.
  2. In a saucepan, over a medium heat, melt the dark chocolate, 1 Terry’s Chocolate Orange and butter. Leave to cool to room temperature.
  3. Using an electric mixer, whisk together the eggs and sugar, until pale and double the volume. This will take a few minutes.
  4. Pour the cooled chocolate mix over the egg/sugar mixture, and fold together carefully. Try not to knock out the air made when whisking.
  5. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and add the orange extract. Combine fully.
  6. Fold through the chopped up Terry’s Chocolate Orange and pour into the prepared tin.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the brownies comes out fairly clean (you want them to be gooey!)
  8. Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into squares and enjoying (lovely warmed with some ice cream!)
