BLACK FOREST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Grease a 30 x 20cm cake tin and line with parchment. Heat oven to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Mix the coffee with 2 tbsp boiling water, then set aside to cool.
• Cream the butter and sugar together for about 5 mins until light and fluffy, then add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder and the flour. Add in the cherry essence and cooled coffee to the butter mixture, followed by the dry ingredients. Mix well, then fold in the cherries.
• Spoon into the prepared tin, level the top with the back of a spoon and bake in the centre of the oven for 30-35 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Once cool, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water, then spread in an even layer over the top of the brownies.
• While the chocolate is setting, mix the butter with the icing sugar and a few drops of green food colouring. Put the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a writing tip nozzle. Cut the brownies into 20 squares, place two glacé cherry halves on top of each one and use the buttercream to create the cherry stem.

BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square baking pan.
• In a blender, puree the beans with the oil. Add the eggs, cocoa, sugar, coffee, and vanilla. Melt half the chocolate chips and add to the blender. Blend on medium-high until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the blender and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the surface looks somewhat matte around the edges and still a bit shiny in the middle, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE BROWNIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven 180C. Line a baking tin (I sometimes a 12 x 8in traybake tin or a 10 inch square) greaseproof paper or baking parchment.
• Melt the butter and chocolate using bain-marie technique, or melt together in a non-metallic bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
• In a separate bowl beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together until mixture is thick.
• Pour the chocolate-butter mix into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
• Sift the flour and salt into the mixture, and mix until smooth.Pour the chocolate brownie mixture into the baking tin and place in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the whole top has formed a light crust and cracked a little. It should not wobble but will be gooey on the inside. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes, cut into portions.

CHILLI CHOCOLATE & BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly grease a 20 x 30cm brownie tin and line with baking parchment. Blitz the beans and vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 eggs with a stick blender until completely smooth.
• Put the butter and sugar in a bowl with the cocoa and remaining eggs, and beat with an electric whisk until creamy. Start off slowly, then increase the speed as you mix (so you don't get covered with cocoa!). Beat in the baking powder, then stir in the bean mixture and fold in the chocolate chunks.
• Scrape the mixture into the tin with a spatula, level it and bake for 25 mins until firm to the touch. Leave to cool, then cut into squares. Will keep for a few days in a tin at room temperature, and 1 week in the fridge.
