Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
- 250g dark chocolate, chopped
- 200g butter
- 150g brown sugar
- 120g white sugar
- 40ml beetroot syrup
- 30ml maple syrup
- 4 eggs (size M)
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 30g baking cocoa
- 20ml hazelnut or amaretto syrup (optional)
- 100g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 50g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
For the Topping:
- 150g dark chocolate, chopped
- 15ml sunflower oil
- 50g white chocolate, chopped
- 5ml sunflower oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 25 cm baking tin with parchment paper.Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl (or use a food processor). Add the butter and melt together over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate and butter with the brown sugar, white sugar, beetroot syrup, and maple syrup. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until well combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the wet mixture, stirring gently to incorporate. If using, add the hazelnut or amaretto syrup at this point. Fold in the chopped walnuts and hazelnuts.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin, smoothing it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the Dark Chocolate Topping: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt with the sunflower oil in a heatproof bowl over low heat (or use a microwave in short intervals). Stir until smooth. Pour the melted dark chocolate over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Create the White Chocolate Swirl: In a separate bowl, chop and melt the white chocolate with the sunflower oil, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in thin lines. Use a wooden stick or skewer to gently swirl the white chocolate into a pattern.
- Chill the Brownies: Place the brownies in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight) to allow the chocolate to fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once the chocolate topping has set, remove the brownies from the tin and cut them into squares or rectangles.
