Chocolate and raisin brownie bites
Makes Up to 24 squares
Ingredients
- 150g butter
- 180g sugar
- 50g dark chocolate, broken into squares
- 50g cocoa powder
- 100ml strong espresso
- 3 eggs, separated
- 100g plain flour
- 100g chocolate-covered raisins
- cocoa powder or icing sugar sifted twice
Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/ Gas 3. Grease and line a 30 x 20 x 5cm baking tray. Place the butter, 90g of the sugar, chocolate, cocoa and espresso into a mixing bowl and place over a pan of gently simmering water. Melt together until combined, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Transfer to a larger mixing bowl and mix in the egg yolks. Whisk the whites until thick and peaky, add the sugar a little at a time and continue whisking until stiff and glossy. Add the flour to the chocolate and mix to combine.
Gently fold in the egg white mixture and the chocolate-covered raisins until just combined. Spread into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes, or until there is no longer a ‘wobble’ in the centre. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust with sifted cocoa powder or icing sugar to serve.
