Chocolate mint brownies http://www.chocolatebrownierecipe.org/chocolate-mint-brownies http://www.chocolatebrownierecipe.org/chocolate-mint-brownies#comments Tue, 19 Apr 2011 08:12:04 +0000 admin http://www.chocolatebrownierecipe.org/?p=91 Chocolate mint brownies take a dense and fudge-like brownie and tops it with a layer of mint flavored cream and a thin layer of dark chocolate. The combination of different textures and flavors is quite appealing.


]]>
chocolate mint browniesBrownie layer:

1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Mint layer:

3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
green food coloring (optional)

Chocolate ganache:

1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup cream

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Have ready a 9 x 9 inch (23 x 23 cm) square baking pan that has been lined with aluminum foil across the bottom and up two opposite sides of the pan. Set aside.

Brownies:

In a stainless steel (heatproof) bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well (with a wooden spoon) after each addition. Stir in the flour and salt and beat, with a wooden spoon, until the batter is smooth and glossy and comes away from the sides of the pan (about one minute). Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the brownies start to pull away from the sides of the pan and the edges of the brownies are just beginning to brown. A toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies will come out almost clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to completely cool.

Mint layer:

In the bowl of your electric mixer or with a hand mixer, beat all the ingredients until smooth. Add a few drops of green food coloring if you want the frosting green. If the frosting is too thick, add a little extra cream. (The frosting should be just thin enough to spread.) Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Place in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes or until firm.

Chocolate Ganache: In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and and cream. Allow to col about 15 minutes. Stir. Spread over the mint filling and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

To serve:

Remove the brownies from the pan by lifting with the ends of the foil and transfer to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut into squares. It is a good idea to wipe your knife between cuts with a damp cloth. These brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for several days or else frozen.

hocolatebrownierecipe.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/white-chocolate-brownies-150×150.jpg” alt=”white chocolate brownies” width=”150″ height=”150″ />Ingredients:
125g butter, chopped
250g white chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs, lightly beaten,
1 1/4 cups plain flour, sifted
2 cups chocolate chips, see recipes below for other suggestions

Makes 24 brownies.
I have used two patty cake pans with a 1/4 cup (water) capacity. Generously spray with non-stick baking spray or line with paper cases. Larger muffin pans can be used just be aware that you will make less brownies and need to bake them a little longer.

Baking temperature.
The oven should be preheated to 160oC (325oF)

Method:
1. In a medium size microwave safe bowl heat the chopped butter on high for 30 seconds. Stir then repeat for another 30 seconds, the butter should be melted. Add the white chocolate and heat for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir until blended. You may need a further 20 seconds. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly so that you do not cook the eggs when you add them.
2. Add the brown sugar and the beaten eggs. Stir through.
3. Add the sifted flour and stir through until smooth.
4. Divide the brownie batter evenly into the patty cake pans. Using a small icecream scoop makes this quick and easy.
5. Evenly divide the chocolate chips and press lightly into the top of the batter. Don’t be suprised by how many there are I have been very generous but then again I really love rich chocolate brownies. The reason I do not mix the chocolate chips into the batter is that this way you can instantly see what type of brownie you are eating increasing their WOW! factor.
6. Bake in a preheated oven set to 160oC (325oF) for 22 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing to a cake rack to cool completely. If you have not use paper liners take great care, I usually use a flat knife to help lift them out.
8. Store in an airtight container for one week. The white chocolate brownies can be frozen for up to two months.

how to make chocolate browniesChocolate brownies are an irresistible treat. For an even more decadent dessert, top your brownies with chocolate fudge frosting. Many people pull out a boxed mix when they want to make chocolate brownies, but you can make your own from scratch in the same time it would take you to make a boxed mix. Here’s how to make chocolate brownies:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup Cocoa powder (optional)
Chocolate fudge frosting
Round or square baking pan, approximately 8×8
Wooden spoon or whisk
Saucepan
Sharp knife

1. Prepare to make chocolate brownies. Before you begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and generously grease your baking pan. For this recipe, you’ll need a pan measuring approximately 8″ by 8″, although you can double the recipe to fill a larger pan.
2. Melt butter and chocolate. Add the butter and chocolate to a medium saucepan, and heat over low heat until the mixture has melted. Watch carefully so it does not burn, and as soon as the mixture has melted, remove it from the heat.
3. Mix the brownies. Mix the eggs, sugar, and vanilla into the butter/chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon or whisk. Beat lightly for a few minutes until the ingredients have combined. Then stir in the flour, as well as nuts or chocolate chips. You can use regular chocolate chips, or the white chocolate or butterscotch variety. For an even more intense chocolate flavor, add cocoa powder to the batter. Do not overmix the batter, or the texture of your brownies will change.
4. Bake the brownies. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the baking pan, and bake for 30 minutes. When they’re done, a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. Do not overbake, or they will be dry and crumbly instead of chewy.
5. Enjoy! Remove your brownies from the oven and frost them using store-bought or homemade chocolate fudge frosting. Then cut them into bars using a sharp knife. Serve your delicious warm brownies with a glass of cold milk.

Chocolate brownies make a delicious after-school treat for kids, and are also great to have on hand when company arrives. Although you can make them from a boxed mix, they won’t be nearly as delicious as this homemade variety.

This is a brownie with a dry cracked crust, a wonderfully moist texture, and a rich deep chocolate flavor. Brownies are often classified as “fudgy” or “cakey”, yet I would describe this brownie as a cross between the two. They are wonderful plain or I often serve them for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The beauty of the Brownie is that it is made using just one bowl. First you melt the chocolate with the butter and then, one by one, you stir in the rest of the ingredients. You do not have to pull out your electric mixer, all you need is a wire whisk and spatula (or wooden spoon). The deep chocolate flavor of these brownies comes from semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder (either unsweetened or Dutch-processed). As I have stated so often with other chocolate recipes, the quality of the chocolate will affect the taste of your brownies. So buy the best you can afford. When choosing a chocolate, always buy one that you enjoy eating out-of-hand. Look for chocolate that has a lovely shiny finish (a sign that the chocolate was cooked at the right temperature for the right amount of time) and one that has that wonderful ‘snap’ when you break it into pieces. Although this recipe calls for adding chocolate chips to the batter, you could substitute nuts (chopped walnuts or pecans) for the chocolate chips.

Now, the challenge with all Brownies is how long they should be baked. It is amazing how just a minute or two will turn a moist brownie into one that is dry and tasteless. So use the stated baking time as a guide only and test the brownies a few minutes before the end of the baking time. Test with a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies. These brownies are done when the toothpick still has a little batter clinging to it and a few moist clumps. You do not want the toothpick to be clean as this means the brownies have been over baked.

Brownies are definitely America’s favorite bar cookie (square). It is hard to believe that they began their life in a Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog over 100 years ago (1897). Brownies are so named because of their dark brown color, not because they contain chocolate. In fact, the first brownie recipes didn’t even contain chocolate. When I looked in Fannie Farmer’s ‘Boston Cooking School Cook Book’ the Brownie recipe calls for butter, sugar, Porto Rico molasses, an egg, flour, and pecan meat. So, I think we can safely say that our Brownie has evolved over the last century.

Ingredients:

5 ounces (140 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolatechopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons (15 grams) cocoa powder
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (125 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Brownies:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Butter (or spray with a nonstick cooking spray) an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder and sugar . Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour, salt and chocolate chips (if using).

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a little batter and a few moist clumps clinging to it. Do not over bake. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled. These freeze very well.

Makes 16 brownies.
