The Dogmother Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 This is one of my favourite recipes, and I saw it published in today's Mail and it reminded me to make it again. Double chocolate brownies For the dark chocolate mixture; 200g good quality dark chocolate 200g butter plus extra for greasing 250g caster sugar 3 free range eggs 125g plain flour For the white chocolate mixture; 1 free range egg 200g cream cheese 50g caster sugar 1tsp vanilla extract 100g white chocolate broken into pieces. *Preheat the oven to 180 deg C/gas 4. Grease a 23cm square brownie pan and lione with greaseproof paper.*Now make the dark chocolate mixture. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir well tp make sure it's all mixed. Allow to cool slightly. *Meanwhile, make the white choc mixture. In a medium bowl, using an electric hand whisk, beat together the egg, cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Stir in the pieces oof white choc and put the mixture to one side.*Returning to the dark choc mix, whisk together the caster sugar and eggs in a large bowl. With the motor of the whisk still running, gently pour in the melted chocolate. carefully fold in the flour with a metal spoon. *Pour half the dark choc mix into the brownie tin. Then pour over the much runnier white choc mix. Finally, dollop in the remaining dark choc mix, making sure it is evenly distributed across the whole pan. *With the handle of a wooden spoon, lightly stir the contents of the tin making broad swirls to create a marbled effect. Don't over-mix. *Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven an allow to cool in the tin before cutting into squares. Devour warm or cold depending on your preference.
