Triple chocolate brownies – a gift from someone special

brownie1

Early one morning, FEDEX delivered a parcel to my doorsteps. It was a box of triple chocolate brownies from someone special in London. They looked so delicious and inviting! Who can resist this sinful indulgence, especially when it comes to triple chocolate? Without a second thought, I quickly took one and put it into my mouth to savour. It was sooOOOoo delicious, moist, velvety…….. the best I had eaten so far! In a few seconds, I finished all the brownies without leaving some for my hubby and son……Ooooops!

No, that’s not real. It was just a story created by me.  As a big fan of chocolate, it was what came to my mind when Lee Mei of My Cooking Hut and I decided to feature this triple chocolate brownies recipe in her guest post.

Today, it is my great pleasure to have Lee Mei of My Cooking Hut to be my first guest in my blog. My Cooking Hut is one of my favourite food blogs. It has excellent food photos which gave me lots of inspiration in my own photo-shooting. Apart from that, I also love her Asian and French recipes. They are simple to prepare, and yet delicious. Although we have not met in person, I find her to be a very sincere and friendly person through our emailing. Whenever I wrote to her for advice, she tried her best to have an answer for me. I am so glad to have found a nice and wonderful foodie friend like her. Thank you so much, Lee Mei!

I hope everyone will enjoy these mouth-watering brownies (visually) as much as I do. Remember to grab one bite before it is too late!

One day, I received an email from LK, the writer of Food-4Tots. She asked me to be a guest writer for her blog. I was indeed very excited and agreed! We discussed about what recipe to feature, in the end, we thought it was just too difficult to run away from the temptation of Triple Chocolate Brownies!

A brownie or chocolate brownie is an American dessert. It usually looks semi-flat square, made with chocolate and baked in a sheet pan. Pretty much like a dense chocolate cake.

I am a real fan of chocolates – not that I eat it everyday but I do appreciate chocolates, especially good quality of dark chocolates. So, I guess, it’s an excellent idea to bake triple chocolate brownies.

For this recipe, the main ingredient is dark chocolate. I personally think that it’s important to get good quality of chocolate, be it for baking or eating. I have decided to choose Valroha dark chocolate with 68% cocoa. Valroha chocolates are top quality and are considered as one of the finest chocolate makers in the world. The price range for Valroha products is roughly the same as Godiva and Neuhaus. Well, you don’t have to specifically look for Valroha chocolates, any good solid dark chocolate with at least 68% of cocoa would do.

Baking is probably one of my weaknesses. I cook more main dishes than I bake! Luckily, I am a very patience person (some people say that I have the patience of a Saint! LOL….), so, the failure of my first attempt in baking brownies didn’t put me off! I learnt from my mistakes and I was very keen to get it right the second time. It turned out great! The saying of practice makes perfects really suits this context!

Well, I had all these triple chocolate brownies laid on a serving plate just right in front of me, they seem to be yelling “Eat me! Eat me!”. I couldn’t resist and took a bite. The moist and velvelty texture of brownies are great for my afternoon tea!

  22. Janice says:

    Hey little teochew. This brownies look so delicious. Anyway is tis brownie very very fudgy. I don’t really like it the brownies is too fudgy.

    Janice

    • mycookinghut says:

      Guess you’re referring to mycookinghut? Anyway, I don’t find it fudgy. It may look so when you first take it out from the oven and cut the centre of the brownie. Once you cool it, it becomes slight dense inside but still moist.

  23. violet says:

    hi, just wonder what do you mean by Plain Chocolate? Is it just cooking milk chocolate? sorry for this stupid question :/

  24. Alice says:

  27. this is a master piece!

  28. Moon says:

    Hi, what do you mean by : preheat oven at 160°C/fan 140°C/gas 3 🙂

    • mycookinghut says:

      Hi Moon,
      If you have oven with a fan, then set the temperature to 160°C, oven without fan, temperature is to be set to 140°C; if the oven is powered by gas, then switch to gas3.

  29. As you said, who can resist these moist & yummy brownies?
    Have someone sent you the brownies and other to guest post of a recipe for you, you’re surely be loved~

  30. Moon says:
