Best Ever Chocolate Brownies

This is a sure fire way of getting your sugar boost!

I found this recipe whilst trawling through many for a simple brownie recipe. I find gluten free cooking is great when making brownies as they are so rich and gooey in texture that you dont nee to use alot of flour.


These are gorgeous..


Brownies

250g unsalted butter

200g dark Fairtrade chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken up

optional: 75g dried sour cherries

optional: 50g chopped nuts

80g cocoa powder, sifted

65g plain gluten free flour, sifted

1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder

360g caster sugar

4 large free-range or organic eggs


Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

Line a 25cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper.

In a large bowl over some simmering water, melt the butter and the chocolate and mix until smooth.

Add the cherries and nuts, if you’re using them, and stir together.

In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and sugar, then add this to the chocolate, cherry and nut mixture.

Stir together well. Beat the eggs and mix in until you have a silky consistency.

Pour your brownie mix into the baking tray

3. Beat cream cheese in large bowl at medium with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs, sugar, vanilla until smooth. Spread over brownie mixture.

4. Bake for 25 - 30 miniutes or until edges and top are springy. Unlike cake mix you dont want the skewer to come out completely clean, you still want these to be gooey in the middle but springy on the top.

5. Cool completely
