This recipe is from our chocolate loving German volunteer Sabrina Kerz.
INGREDIENTS
For the brownies:
1kg dark chocolate
600g butter
400g sugar
2 small packages of vanilla sugar
2 pinches of salt
10 eggs
400g flour
100g food starch
2tsps baking powder
For the cream:
250g butter
1 package of vanilla pudding + ingredients mentioned on the package
50g sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven on 180°C
Cut and melt the chocolate with the butter. One possibility is to put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and put it on top of a pot with hot water. The other option is to melt smaller quantities in a glass bowl in the microwave. But be careful to use not the full power (20%) and check in the beginning every 30s and then every 10s. The chocolate should not get too hot, so stop as soon as it is molten!
When everything is well mixed add slowly flour, food starch and baking powder. Be careful to mix especially
slowly in the beginning.
Put everything on a baking tray with baking paper. Put in the preheated oven for around 30min.
!!! Do not leave in too long, otherwise the Brownies get to dry!!!
Cook the vanilla pudding as described on the package but add 50g of sugar
Leave the pudding and brownies to cool down completely
Start beating the butter. Important: it should be at room temperature! Add step by step the vanilla pudding and keep beating until it is creamy.
Put the butter cream on top of the brownies, cut them into pieces and your most amazing brownies are finished.
