These gooey brownies are a perfect way to use your leftover easter eggs!
Ingredients
5 cream eggs
5 caramel eggs
300g salted butter
300g dark chocolate, 70 % cocoa
5 large eggs
300g golden caster sugar
150g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
Method
– Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C with a fan.
– Unwrap the chocolate eggs, put them in a bowl, and in the freezer for an hour.
– Bring a large pan of water to a boil.
– In a large bowl, add the butter and chocolate. Place the bowl on top of the pan of boiling water.
– Reduce the heat to low. Melt the chocolate and butter for 8-10 minutes. Stirring regularly until you have a smooth mixture.
– Take the bowl off the pan and leave it to cool for 5 minutes.
– Meanwhile, in another large bowl, add the eggs and sugar, and whisk for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
– Then, slowly add the chocolate and butter mixture, and continue to whisk.
– Add the flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold this into the mixture with a spoon until it is smooth.
– Grease and line a large baking tin. Spread the brownie mixture evenly across the tin.
– Place the frozen chocolate eggs randomly into the mixture.
– Place the tray in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes. If the middle of the brownie wobbles when shaken after 25 minutes, then leave it in the oven for 5 extra minutes but no more otherwise it will dry out.
– Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least an hour.
Time to enjoy!
