Perfect this recipe for Easter – or scoff it now.
“All the ingredients except the fresh orange zest are from the store cupboard,” says Phil Vickery. “Just remember to allow the brownie to cool a little after taking out of the oven – or, better yet, chill in the fridge – or it will be too soft to cut.”
Squidgy Creme Egg brownie
Equipment
- 20 centimetre square baking tray
- Pan
- Heatproof bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 110 g salted butter softened
- 150 g caster sugar
- 150 g bitter chocolate
- 75 g plain flour sifted
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 1 large orange zest finely grated
- 4 creme eggs halved
- vanilla ice cream to serve (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Line a 20 centimetre square baking tray with greaseproof paper, or oil well.
- Melt the golden syrup, butter, sugar and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- Remove the bowl from the pan, then stir in the flour, eggs and orange zest. Mix well but do not overmix, or the finished brownie will be chewy.
- Pour into the prepared tray, then carefully place the eight Creme Egg halves into the top of the mix, pressing down slightly.
- Pop into the oven and cook for 35–40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
