The love this recipe

There is something magical about the combination of chocolate and chilli.

In this version of a brownie, we have transformed the basic recipe with the addition of smoked chipotle chilli and vanilla bean to create a treat that melts in your mouth. Imagine how you would savour the sweet rich chocolate on the tip of your tongue and round out the flavours with a smoky subtle lingering chilli aftertaste.

Directions

  1. In a med heat saucepan, mix butter, chocolate, chipotle chilli & coffee until smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate mixture and stir constantly until mixed.

    Let cool slightly, remove from the stove & whisk in sugar, eggs & vanilla. Stir in flour & salt.
  2. Scrape into a greased 20cm by 20cm square cake tin & bake for 25 mins at 180 C.

    Let cool on a wire rack, cut into squares & dust with cocoa powder.

    These are very moist and should keep for several days in the fridge.
