Brownies With A Surprise Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
• Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

Steps:

• For brownies:.
• Cream butter& sugar until smooth.
• Add eggs, continuing to mix well Add vanilla Mix in the baking powder, salt and melted chocolate, stirring well.
• Slowly add the flour, then fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
• Reserve 1 cup of the mixture and pour remaining mixture into 9 X 9 square pan. Use Pam or parchment paper to line pan, for easier removal.
• Filling:.
• Whip the cream cheese and butter together.
• Gradually add the sugar, mixing together well.
• Add the egg, vanilla and then the flour mixing well Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie mix in the pan.
• Take the 1 cup of the reserve brownie mix and drop by spoonfulls over the cream cheese mixture and swirl slightly to"marble" the brownies.
• Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
• Let brownies cool and cut into squares to enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Place butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add sugar; mix to combine. Add eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Put the butter and chocolate in a small pot and melt gently, stirring occasionally until the mixture is liquid. Set aside to cool.
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13-inch/23 x 33cm baking pan with some parchment paper so that it comes ½ inch/1cm above the top of the pan, and lightly grease.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the eggs, brown sugar, and cooled coffee in a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) and whisk until the mixture is light, thick, and fluffy. This should take 5 minutes with electric beaters. (Adding the coffee really enhances the flavor of the cocoa and you won't even be able to taste the coffee itself.)
• Pour in the cooled melted chocolate and whisk until the mixture no longer has any streaks in it. Then add the sifted flour, cocoa, and salt and mix until you have a glossy batter.
• Mix the teaspoon of flour with the chocolate chips in a bowl before mixing them into the batter until they're well dispersed-this trick will prevent them from sinking to the bottom when you bake the brownies. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level off the top. Bake for 25 minutes.
• While it is baking, toast the nuts in a large nonstick pan, stirring until they are a deep golden brown. Put the dulce de leche in a bowl along with the toasted nuts and the salt, mix, and set aside.
• As soon as the brownies are baked, take them out of the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Spread the sticky nut mixture over the top and pop the whole thing in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Adjust the oven to 325°F.
• Make the cheesecake top by mixing the cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, almond extract, orange zest, and flour together really well. Spoon and spread into an even layer over the nut mixture and pop into the oven for about 50 minutes. As soon as the cheesecake is set in the center, allow to cool totally and chill in the fridge overnight. The wait will be worth it!
• Dust with the cocoa, take out of the pan, and cut into squares. Eat, eat, eat!

Steps:

• First, make the chocolate domes. Melt the chocolates in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water, then leave to cool slightly. Meanwhile, blow up the balloons to around the size of a honeydew melon. Sit the base of each balloon in a glass and spray the top half with oil - this will ensure the chocolate dome comes off easily.
• One at a time, dip the sprayed end of the balloon into the cooled melted chocolate, turning the balloon to get an even coverage of chocolate. Sit the balloons chocolate half up in the glass. Repeat the process with the remaining balloons then leave to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs or overnight.
• Next, make the brownies. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water. Mix the flour and cocoa powder together with the spices and a pinch of salt, then set aside.
• Using an electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then whisk in the egg and yolk. Pour in melted chocolate, wine and flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 15 mins until just set. Don't worry if there's a wobble in the centre - it will set as they cool. Put in the fridge to firm up.
• For the butterscotch sauce, melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan then tip in the sugar and cream, then whisk until well combined. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking occasionally, then remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and sea salt. Set aside to cool. All of these elements can be made the day before and kept in the fridge.
• To assemble, carefully pop each of the balloons with a pair of scissors, unravelling the balloon so that you are left with a chocolate dome. Carefully put them on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Cut the brownies into nine portions. Put a piece of brownie on each plate, top each with a ball of ice cream, then top with a chocolate dome. Gently reheat the butterscotch sauce. At the table, pour the hot sauce over the dome for extra pizazz, to reveal the brownie inside.
