Gooey, rich chocolate brownies with a hint of orange and studded with chunks of Terry’s chocolate orange.
This brownie recipe is so simple. Melt and mix basically. Only one bowl necessary. The hardest part of this bake is deciding when the brownies are cooked. Remember – brownies are better gooey, so err on the side of under baked, rather than overbaked.
Let me know if you give these a go.
Chocolate Orange Brownies
Gooey, rich chocolate brownies flavoured with orange and studded with Terry's chocolate orange chunks.
Servings: 16 squares
Equipment
- 20cm square tin
Ingredients
- 225 g dark chocolate I use 55% cocoa
- 185 g unsalted butter
- 300 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- zest of one large orange
- juice ½ orange
- 100 g plain flour
- 45 g cocoa powder
- 200 g chopped chocolate orange I used a mixture of dark and milk Terry's chocolate orange
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square tin with greaseproof paper.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan.
- You will only need one bowl for this recipe. In a heatproof bowl melt the butter and 225g of chocolate. Do this in the microwave in 30 second bursts with lots of stirring.
- Mix through the sugar and eggs until combined. Stir through the orange zest and juice.
- Sprinkle over the flour and cocoa powder and mix until just combined. Finally, add the chocolate orange chunks.
- Pour into your prepared tin and put in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes. You want them to look a bit wobbly in the centre still, but set around the edges. Brownies are better underdone than overdone! They'll continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
- Allow to cool before slicing. I firm them up in the fridge.
Notes
- It’s important to use dark chocolate in the recipe. Milk chocolate contains more fat which will change the texture. Likewise using Terry’s chocolate orange in the base will also alter the consistency due to the orange oil.
- Remember brownies are always better under baked than over baked.
