Brownie Ingredients:
- 90 grams butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (140 grams)
- 3/4 cup flour (75 grams)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions for Brownies:
- Preheat your oven to 165°C (330°F) and line a 20x30 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the melted butter and stir with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure the eggs do not cook. Incorporate the chocolate mixture in 3 stages to maintain smoothness.
- Sift the flour and salt into the mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake as the brownies can cook quickly due to their thinner size. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.
Cream Filling Ingredients:
- 1 liter milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar (170 grams)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cornstarch (100 grams)
- 2 heaping tablespoons flour (45 grams)
- 1 packet vanilla
- 125 grams butter (or margarine)
- 1 packet whipped cream powder
- 1.5-2 tablespoons cream
Instructions for Cream Filling:
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and flour. Slowly add the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
- Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Once cooled, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- After chilling, beat the custard with whipped cream powder and cream until smooth and fluffy. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more cream if necessary.
Assembly:
- Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size.
- Pipe or spoon the cream filling onto one brownie layer. Optionally, add fruit slices such as strawberries for extra flavor.
- Place another brownie layer on top to complete the treat. Drizzle with melted chocolate (dark or white) and, if desired, create decorative patterns with a toothpick. For a more elegant look, dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
