Servings 16
Ingredients
- 200 g butter (salted or unsalted)
- 200 g dark chocolate
- Zest from one large orange
- 270 g caster or granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 115 g plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 154g Terry's Chocolate Orange roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 140°C Fan / 325°F / Gas Mark 4. Line a 20cm square tin with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter and chocolate over a bain-marie or in the microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Set this mixture aside and leave it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile beat the eggs and egg yolks together until combined. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- In large mixing bowl, using your fingertips rub, the sugar and orange zest together until fragrant. Sift flour and the cocoa powder over the top and mix until thoroughly combined and no lumps of flour remain. Now add the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Finally, fold through the chopped Terry's Chocolate Orange. Try not to over mix otherwise this may result in your baked brownies being tough. Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake the brownies for 40-45 minutes, they’ll be ready when they’re risen, the top has started to slightly crack and a cake tester when inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin, then once cooled leave them to set for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. When ready to serve, slice the brownies into 16 squares. Brownies will store in an airtight container for up to a fortnight.
