Fresh Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownie
Try it with our Coconut and Pineapple Ice Cream Recipe - A winning Combination
Ingredients:
• 150g dark chocolate
• 150g butter
• 150g soft dark brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 120g Fairtrade Organic Chickpea
flour / gram flour
• 4 tablespoons cocoa
• 150g white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
• 150g fresh raspberries
• Pinch of salt
Method:
To make the Chickpea Flour (This does require a food processor):
- Simply blitz the dried chickpeas for about 3 to 4 minutes in the bowl of a food processor with the blade fitted, as the time passes you will see what resembles a fine creamy powder.
- Sift the mixture reserve the fine flour and re blitz the rest, if you only have a bit of the grain left use a coffee grinder and this will allow the last small grains to be milled to the fine flour.
Once you have mastered the knack of making your own flour it will be so very easy and cost effective.
To make the brownie:
- Pre heat oven 160c, 140c fan, or gas4
- Grease and line a deep 7in cake tin. Don’t worry if you don’t have a square tin just use a round cake tin. The shape will be different, but it won’t affect the taste.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over simmering water, or on defrost in the microwave (short 2-minute bursts in the microwave is best, stir and return, stir and return)
- Whisk the eggs, brown sugar and salt until thick and creamy. This could take about 3 to 4 minutes. Weigh out the chickpea flour (or gram flour) and the cocoa.
- When the eggs are creamy add in the cooled melted chocolate and butter and stir well.
- Add in the coco and flour and mix well together fold in the raspberries and white chocolate.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. It will come right up to the top but don’t worry the mixture will not rise.
- Bake for no more than 20 minutes otherwise the centre will bake, and you won’t have that squidgy centre.
If like me, you are a ‘bowl licker’ the mixture may taste a bit different this is due to the gram flour but don’t worry the finish brownie is absolutely delicious.
