Chocolate Macadamia Brownies
They are just so quick and easy to make for such a great result.
It is very hard to eat just one…..
- Chocolate Macadamia Brownies
- 2 heaped teaspoons of instant coffee dissolved in 1/3 cup boiling water
- 180gm butter, chopped
- 250gm dark cooking chocolate, chopped
- 1 ½ cups plain flour, sifted
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 ½ cups caster sugar
- 1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
Pre-heat oven to 1700 C. Line a rectangular tin with baking paper-with overhang at the long sides to allow removing the brownies easy. The tin I use is 32 X 22 cms.
Place the coffee mix, butter and chocolate in a medium pan - stir over a low heat until butter and chocolate are melted and the mixture is smooth-remove from heat and set aside.
Sift the flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Add the sugar and nuts, stir to combine. Make a well in the centre, add the chocolate mixture and the eggs and stir until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin- smooth the top with the back of a spoon until quite even. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Brownies are a fudgy texture – don’t overcook.
Remove from oven onto a wire rack to cool. Remove from the tin when completely cold and cut into squares. Enjoy !!!
Variation- You could also try different nuts – works well with pecans and walnuts as well
