Indulgent chocolate brownies: a sweet gesture from the heart.
Ingredients:
  • 150g butter
  • 150g dark cooking chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 130g (3/4 cup) blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 270g (1 1/4 cups) caster sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) golden syrup
  • 30g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour
  • 55g (1/2 cup) almond meal
  • 125g (1/2 cup) sour cream
  • Vanilla ice-cream or double cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 20 x 30cm slice pan with melted butter and line with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate with a metal spoon until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Spread the almonds on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
  • Combine the egg, sugar, and golden syrup with the chocolate mixture until smooth. Sift in the cocoa powder and flour. Gently fold in the almond meal and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in half of the toasted almonds. Evenly distribute the mixture onto the pan. Sprinkle the remaining almonds on top. Bake for 25 minutes or until the center is slightly sticky when tested with a skewer. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Cut the dish into decadent squares and enjoy them warm with a scoop of creamy ice-cream or a dollop of rich cream.
