“Melting white chocolate can be tricky. When it is in the bowl over a pan of just simmering water, don’t stir it or it may well seize and go lumpy – leave it for 10 minutes and even though it won’t look melted it will be fine,” says cookbook author Donal Skehan.
Fudgy dark and white ripple brownies with raspberries
Equipment
- 20cm square cake tin
- Heatproof bowl
- Hand-held electric whisk
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate broken into pieces
- 100 g white chocolate broken into pieces
- 150 g unsalted butter softened
- 200 g caster sugar
- 75 g soft light brown sugar
- 3 large free-range eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 150 g plain flour
- 150 g raspberries
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4 and grease and line a 20cm (8in) square cake tin with baking parchment.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water. Set aside to cool a little bit. Do the same with the white chocolate in a separate bowl.
- With a hand-held electric whisk, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs together in a small jug then gradually pour them into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking the whole time until you have a fluffy smooth mix. Beat in the vanilla bean paste and then the flour. Divide the mixture in half.
- Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into one half of the mixture and the white chocolate into the other half.
- Roughly dollop the mixture like a checkerboard into the prepared tin and push the raspberries into the mixture. Us the end of a teaspoon to swirl the two colours together.
- Bake the brownies for 35–40 minutes so that a skewer comes out almost clean but still a little bit sticky. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares. These taste even better the next day so try not to eat them all straight away!
