My girls are as obsessed with salted caramel as anyone else so you can imagine their excitement when I said I was making brownies with a salted caramel centre.
The recipe and instructions are below. It is super easy to make and we have created just the plain brownies a couple of times now adding simple ingredients such as walnuts and chocolate chips. We even made homemade ice cream, just plain vanilla. The next purchase on my kitchen list is a sorbet/ice cream maker that doesn’t need putting in the freezer to chill overnight first.
Ingredients:
250g caster sugar
85g cocoa powder
55g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
3 eggs
200g unsalted butter melted
2tsp vanilla extract
200g dark chocolate melted
For the Miso Caramel melt 110g of caster sugar until melted. Increase the heat until golden brown. Quickly whisk in 50g unsalted butter and 1tbsp miso paste and stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
Method:
Preheat oven to 180oC
Add all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla essence together and pour into the dry mix.
Fold in the melted chocolate and pour half of the mixture into a greased brownie tin.
Pour over the salted caramel mix and top with the remaining brownie batter. Smooth the top and pop in the oven for 35 minutes.
Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin. Cut into squares and serve. Will store in an airtight container for up to 7 days – if you don’t eat it all first!
