Chocolate Brownies with Tahini Swirl

Servings 9 squares
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 170 grams melted butter
  • 250 grams sugar 1 ¼ cup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 95 grams flour ¾ cup
  • 30 grams cocoa powder ¼ cup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 9 tbsp tahini add ¼ tahini in with melted chocolate if you want extra tahini flavor
  • 100 grams chocolate chips melted
  • 100 grams 70% chocolate bar chopped into bite-size pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Grease a 20x20cm (8x8in) square baking dish with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Or line with parchment paper, if you would like to remove and cut into squares.
  • Chop the chocolate bar into small chunks. Set Aside
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 15-second intervals, mixing in between. Set aside . *
  • In a large bowl, whisk the butter + sugar. You can use a hand held mixer, we used a whisk for 2 min.
  • Add your eggs + vanilla. Whisk for 2 min until the mixture is lighter in color.
  • Whisk in the melted chocolate (after it has slightly cooled.)
  • Sift in flour + cocoa powder + salt. Fold in with a spatula (do not over mix).
  • Fold in your chopped chocolate bar.
  • Transfer to baking dish.
  • With a tablespoon, dollop the 9 tbsp tahini over the top (imagine a grid, and add one dollop of tahini mixture to each square on that grid). Using the tip of a wooden stick swirl the tahini into the brownie.
  • Place into the oven for 20-25 minutes. If you like a more set up brownie go for 25, if u like a softer fudgier browine 20 minutes.
  • Let cool completely (don't try and cut these before they cool they will fall apart.) Add some drizzle of tahini and a good sprinkle of sea salt before serving.

Notes

* If you don't have a microwave, place chocolate into a heat-proof bowl and place over a pot of boiling water and continue to mix. It will melt in no time. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate.
