Serves:
10
Preparation Time:
20 minutes
Cooking Time:
50 minutes
Total Time:
1 hour 10 minutes

Step 1: You will need….

  • 200 g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g sugar
  • 120 g almonds, chopped
  • 120 g butter at room temperature
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • a pinch of salt
  • flour for dusting
  • butter, to butter the mould
  • ½ ltr water
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 loaf tin 28cm long
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 electric whisk
  • toothpicks
  • 1 brush

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the temperature to 180ºC (350ºF/ gas mark 4).

Step 3: Melt the chocolate

Place the cooking pan on a high heat and add the water. Place the medium bowl on top of the cooking pan, taking care that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Add the chocolate and butter and allow to melt, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from the heat.

Step 4: Add ingredients to chocolate

Add the egg yolks to the chocolate and mix well. Stir in the sugar and chopped almonds. Remove the bowl from the top of the pan and set aside.

Step 5: Whip egg whites and mix with chocolate

Pour the egg whites into the large bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until very stiff. If you turn the bowl upside down and nothing falls, you've reached the right point.

Add the egg whites to the chocolate mix and combine well.

Step 6: Bake

Butter the baking tin thoroughly, sprinkle in some flour (removing any excess) and pour in the chocolate mix. Place it the middle of the oven to bake for 50 minutes.

After that time, use a toothpick to check if it's cooked. If it is clean, without batter, it's ready. If not, cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

It can be served as it is, with icing sugar, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or you can choose one of the suggested glazes from our website.

    Hello, toady for the third time I prepared the brownie, and it went good but this time I added 1/4 cup of all purpose flour and 1oz liquor to the mixture.The thing which I in my mind makes a little bit strong the brownie is the120g almond does somebody know if we can omit it from recipe or replace it by an other thing, thank you

    That looks so good. I think almond would work better on chocolate than walnuts. The ingredients are very simple too. I would love to personally to try this :)

    for a good brownie icing look up chocolate fondant. Its like a fudge topping that you can pour onto the baked brownies. Soooo good!
