  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 200g butter, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 200g good-quality milk chocolate, chopped

  • 1/3 cup plain flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 3cm deep, 16cm x 26cm (base) slab pan. Line with baking paper, allowing 2cm overhang at both long ends.
  2. Combine dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in sugar.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla to chocolate mixture. Mix well. Stir in milk chocolate and walnuts. Sift flour and cocoa together over chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Spread brownie mixture into prepared pan. Smooth surface. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre has moist crumbs clinging. Set aside to cool.
  5. Cut brownie into pieces. Serve with ice-cream and chocolate fudge sauce.

  • Chocolate fudge sauce: Combine 200g good-quality dark chocolate with 3/4 cup thickened cream in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIM-HIGH (70%) in 1-minute bursts, stirring with a metal spoon until smooth.
