Glossy Choco Fudge Brownie

Yes I made it! I did! I did! Yaayyyy to me! Not that choco fudge brownie is difficult to make, but I had been hesitant to try it for quite sometime. The word "fudge" worried me. I never thought I will get it right. But I decided to try my hand at it finally and what did I have? Wonderful looking fudge brownies. Ok, I am really not sure if my brownies really taste like brownies, but they are low-fat version with no compromise in taste. I finished a batch of brownies in less than an hour and they tasted gorgeous. Now, this is my recipe of brownie preparation too. We enjoyed it thoroughly. 🙂

Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Brownie-

• All purpose flour - ½ cup
• Eggs - 2
• Butter - 2 tbsp
• Oil - 3 tbsp
• Cocoa Powder - 6tbsp
• Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
• Baking Powder - 1.5 tsp
• Sugar Powdered- 1 cup
• Chopped Almonds - ¼ cup (can use upto ½cup for more nutty texture)

For the Choco Fudge - 

• Cooking Chocolate - 1 cup
• Butter - 2 tbsp

Preparation:

For the Brownie - 

1. Mix oil, butter and cocoa powder together in a mixing bowl and put aside.
2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly with sugar and vanilla extract.
3. When there are no lumps, bring the cocoa mixture together with the egg mixture and add chopped almonds.
4. Gently fold the sieved flour + Baking powder mixture in three additions in to the brownie mix.
5. Grease a baking pan with butter and preheat the oven at 190°C for 15 mins.
6. Bake the brownie for 35 mins (depending on the oven). The brownie might not look fully firm. Dont worry, it will get cooked further during the cooling process.
7. Let it cool for 10 mins and then slowly cut it through the sides to loosen it from the tin.

For the Choco Fudge - 

1. Boil water in a wide pan.
2. Put the butter and cooking chocolate (I used milk chocolate) in a bowl and put it on top of the boiling water.
3. Keep stirring it until the chocolate and butter are melted. Mix vigorously.
4. The choco mixture would be shiny and of the pourable/spreadable consistency.
5. Remove from heat and spread it gently over the brownie that has been cooled.
6. Wait until the fudge sets up. The process can be fastened up by putting the brownie in the refrigerator for half an hour.
7. Take out and cut it gently into pieces. Serve it with vanilla ice cream 🙂
