Whilst in Paris last Spring I was inspired by all the sumptuous, edible cakes and patisseries and couldn't resist buying the cutsest of mini moulds. I've been dying to test it out and I thought my favourite chocolate brownie recipe would be delicious baked into these perfect bite sized portions.
Chocolate Brownie bites
(adapted from Fay's family food, Fay Ripley)
Ingredients
180g dark chocolate
180g butter
260g caster sugar
3 large eggs
80g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
200g white chocolate, roughly chopped
Cooking instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c (fan) 200c, gas mark 6. I lightly greased my silicon moulds or if using a baking dish line with baking paper.
- Break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave for 30 second bursts, stiring inbetween until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Seperately beat the sugar and eggs with an electric whisk until creamy then fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Sift the flour and cocoa over the whole lot and mix in with a big metal spoon.
- Finally, fold in the chopped-up white chocolate pieces. Pour into your chosen dish or mould. Bake in the oven. Little bites approx 15-18mins or large tray 35-40 mins until firm to touch.
- Leave to cool before turning out ontro a cooling rack.
- This is optional but for extra fun pour some melted chocolate over each one and decorate with anything that you like. I used sugar sprinkles and chopped nuts. Delicious!!
