Ingredients:
- 200 grams of butter (or margarine for a dairy-free option)
- 200 grams of 70% dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 200 grams of granulated sugar
- 50 grams of packed brown sugar
- 60 grams of cocoa powder
- 50 grams of ground almonds
- 70 grams of matzo cake meal
- 100 grams of milk or additional dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions:
- Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a bowl.
- Prepare brown butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it bubbles and turns a nutty brown color. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for a few minutes, then pour the butter over the chopped chocolate. Wait a minute and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and combined.
- In a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, combine eggs and both sugars. Beat on medium speed for about 8 minutes until the mixture is very fluffy. Stir in the chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and then add the ground almonds and matzo cake meal, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in the chopped milk or dark chocolate.
- Grease a 20x20 cm baking dish and pour the brownie batter into it. Sprinkle with additional chopped chocolate and a pinch of coarse sea salt.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) for about 30-35 minutes. The brownies should be set but still soft in the center.
- Allow to cool completely before refrigerating. Once chilled, cut into equal-sized squares.
Enjoy these rich and fudgy dark chocolate brownies as a delightful treat!
