Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 g unsalted butter, chopped
- 265 g light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 110 g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa, sifted
Salted caramel
- 180 ml thin cream
- 90 g unsalted butter, chopped
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 330 g caster sugar
- sea salt flakes, to taste
Makes 16 brownies.
Chilling time: 2 hours
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 20 cm x 30 cm baking tin with baking paper.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over very low heat and stir until melted.
- Meanwhile, place the brown sugar, eggs, flour and cocoa in a bowl and stir until well combined.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then place in the fridge while you make your caramel.
- For the salted caramel, place the cream, butter and vanilla seeds into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter has completely melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Place the caster sugar and 125 ml (½ cup) water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar turns a deep amber. Remove from the heat and very slowly whisk in the vanilla cream mixture until well combined.
- Pour the caramel over the cooled brownie and sprinkle with a generous amount of sea salt. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into squares to serve.
