Avocado Brownies FKA Green brownies


Back on track with some chocolate dessert, brownies.
The slightly "healthier" version of this one.
AVOCADO Brownies, but I prefer to call them green brownies.

You will need:

Two avocado's
170 g dark chocolate
50 g butter
80 g flour
Two eggs (optional: organic and free range ones)
40 g cocoa powder
120 g light brown sugar ("cassonade")
50 g butter
5 g baking powder
A pinch of sea salt
Optional: flaked almonds


Pre-heat your oven to 180° C.


Start of by mixing your avocado's like you would for your tradition guacamole.



Meanwhile melt your dark chocolate on a low heat.



Once melted add your butter and let it melt too.


Let the chocolate cool down a bit.



Now mix the "avocado puree" with the cooled, melted chocolate and butter.



Add the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and flour. Mix well.



Now add your eggs and the sea salt. Mix well again.



Butter and flour your baking tin and pour in your mixture.

Optional sprinkle some flaked almonds on top!
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
And there you have the slightly healthier version of traditional brownies. 



YUM!

Goodbye Tea Party


I'm back with a rather special post.
Lately all most of my friends are studying abroad. Japan, Ireland, Italy welcomed my friends.
Recently my friend Maarten also went on an erasmus. But before he did, he kindly organized a Goodbye Tea Party.

He laid all the different tea beautifully. As a "passionate" baker and chocolate lover, I thought I could bake an indulgent and chocolate dessert. As everybody likes chocolate, sugar,... . I decided to go for brownies.

For this brownies you will need (according to this site):

150 g brown sugar
10 g vanilla sugar
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 organic eggs
120 g chocolate
90 g flour
A pinch of salt
Optional (but totally worth it): handful chopped walnuts


Preheat your oven to 180°c.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan at low temperature. Once melted, let it cool down.
Whisk your eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled chocolate and butter to your eggs. Mix well together.
Add the salt, sugar and flour. Mix together until you have a beautiful batter.
Add your walnuts (optional).
Pour it in your baking tin.
Bake for about 30 minutes.
Let it cool down properly before to unmould your brownies.
Then bring it with you to your favorite people.



Feeling something is missing? 
Of course! Some whipped cream.


Whisking, whisking, whisking, ... 
Wait! Don't make butter!



Chocolate and whipped cream does makes us happy people!



The final result with a nice cup of tea!


Ps. have a wonderful erasmus Maarten!
