Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Brownie

Ingredients

  • 6 Whole Free Range Eggs
  • 200gm Caster Sugar (or equivalent sugar replacement)
  • 250gm Almond Meal
  • 250gm unsalted Butter, chopped
  • 250gm Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 40gm Cocoa Powder

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160 C
  2. Prepare a lined and greased rectangle or square baking tin, approx 25x35cms.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat eggs on high until pale and fluffy.
  4. Slowly pour in caster sugar, mix for a further 5 mins.
  5. In a microwave proof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate & butter in 30 second intervals, swirling in between, so the chocolate doesn't burn. Alternatively melt and mix over a double boiler.
  6. In a large mixing bowl add the almond meal and sifted cocoa.
  7. Stir in the melted chocolate & butter.
  8. Once incorporated, add in the egg & sugar mixture 1/3 at a time, folding fairly gently. Add a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Pour into a lined and greased baking tin.
  10. Scatter over Roasted Nuts Maple & Pink Lake Salt mix.
  11. Bake for 40mins total, with a turn half way through time Check at 35mins Cool in tin
  12. Put tin, covered in the fridge for at min 2 hours or overnight. This will firm it up, and make it easier to slice.
  13. Slice 5 x 3 (15 pieces). Use a sharp knife, and clean the blade in between cutting the lines.
  14. Eat anytime, anywhere! Or for a really decadent dessert, re warm the individual portions, and serve with ice cream of gelato of choice.
