Cocoa Mass Gm 21
Salt Gm 2
Red Food Color Gm 15
White Vinegar Gm 4

Cream Cheese Gm 250
Icing Sugar Gm 80
Oreo Crushed Nos 6
Chocolate Ganache    
Amul Cream Gm 250
Belgian Gm 250

Portions: - 11 120 Gm each

Preparation Time: - 50 mins

METHOD

  • While you're making the brownies, spread out the butter you'll need for the frosting and ganache so it can come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 8 by 8 baking tray with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out of the pan. Set aside.
  • To make the brownies: In a small bowl, beat the 2 eggs together. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it for 30 seconds at a time. Add 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, vinegar, food coloring, and salt. In that order, mix each of those components into the batter.  After whisking in the eggs, gently mix in the flour until fully combined. Do not overmix. Pour the brownie batter into prepared baking pan. Bake the brownies for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few small moist crumbs. After letting the brownies cool for half an hour at room temperature, place them in the refrigerator to finish cooling.
  • To make the frosting: With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high until light and creamy – about 1 minute. Beat on medium until smooth after adding 2 Tbsp cream and confectioners' sugar. To make the frosting spreadable, stir in one additional tablespoon of cream. For the frosting layer to remain nice while cutting into the brownies, you want it to be thick. Crushed Oreos are folded in. After the brownies have cooled, remove them from the pan and spread the frosting over them. Stick them into the refrigerator as you prepare the ganache. The icing on the brownies should be just barely set.
  • Make the ganache: Break up the chocolate into small pieces in a medium bowl. Either use a microwave or a burner to bring the heavy cream to a boil. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, pour boiling cream over it and whisk. One tiny piece at a time, cut in the butter and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over brownies with frosting. Let cool for a minimum of half an hour prior to slicing.

Ingredients Unit Quantity
CARAMEL BLONDIE
Unsalted Butter Gm 150
White Chocolate Chopped Gm 200
Salt Gm 2
Brown Sugar Gm 200
Eggs Nos 3
Plain Flour Gm 300
Light Brown Musca do Sugar Gm 100

Portions: - 7 Portions, 120gm each

Preparation Time: - 50 mins

METHOD

  • Set the oven's temperature to 180˚C (or 160˚C for fan ovens).
  • Add the butter, sugars, half the white chocolate and 100g of caramel to a pan and heat gently until fully melted. Allow the blend to reach room temperature.
  • Transfer the leftover caramel to a bowl, along with the dash of sea salt, and stir until the texture of the caramel softens.
  • Add the eggs to the cooled butter and sugar mixture, ensuring the egg is well combined before adding the next. Sift the flour into a large bowl and pour in the sugar and egg mix. Gently fold in all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps of flour.
  • Stir into the blondie mixture the remaining white chocolate chunks. After pouring half of the blondie batter into the prepared tray, use a teaspoon to drizzle half of the salted caramel in long stripes over the brownie mixture. With caution not to disturb the caramel underneath, spoon the remaining blondie batter on top and level it out.
  • Once more, arrange the remaining caramel in lines on top, then use a skewer to gently swirl the caramel and blondie mixture. After baking for 60 to 75 minutes, the center should wobble very slightly when you shake the pan and the top should be somewhat crispy. Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into 20 squares.

METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Continue whisking until fully melted. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for a few minutes. (You can also melt the butter in a large microwave-safe basin, and then stir in the chocolate until it melts)
  • Mix the cocoa powder and flour in a separate basin. Add the salt and stir.
  • To the melted chocolate, whisk in the sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until well combined. Add the remaining half cup of chocolate chips and fold. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread the batter to the edges of the pan.
  • Using teaspoonfuls, scatter the peanut butter over the batter. Swirl it into the batter with a screwdriver or knife tip.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or 35 minutes for a really fudgy middle, or until the center doesn't jiggle when the pan is lightly shaken. After 25 minutes, wrap the brownies in foil. After 25 minutes if the peanut butter appears to be browning. (The bake time may increase by 5 to 10 minutes if covered.) Let the brownies cool in the pan completely before slicing.
