Questions about Chocolate brownies
How do you tell when chocolate brownies are cooked?
At 180°C, start checking after about 20 minutes in a shallow tin. A skewer in the centre should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter; a clean skewer usually means they have baked past the fudgy stage.
How do you get a shiny, crackly top on chocolate brownies?
Beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale before folding in the melted chocolate and butter. This helps form the thin, crisp top; avoid stirring the flour in vigorously, which can make the brownies tough.
How do you make brownies fudgy rather than cakey?
Use a recipe with more chocolate and butter than flour, and take the tin out while the centre is still slightly soft. More flour and extra whisking incorporate air and make the texture more cake-like.
How should you store chocolate brownies?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight tin at room temperature; they usually stay moist for three to four days. For longer storage, wrap individual pieces and freeze them, then thaw at room temperature.
Can you warm chocolate brownies before serving?
Yes. Warm a piece briefly in the microwave until just soft, or put it in a low oven for a few minutes. Serve it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or berries.
What can you add to chocolate brownies?
Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch, while raspberries bring a tart contrast to the rich chocolate. Fold additions through the batter just before baking so they are spread evenly.
Can you replace butter in chocolate brownies?
You can use a neutral-flavoured oil in place of melted butter, but the brownies will be less buttery and may have a softer texture. For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and an egg replacement suited to baking.
