Chocolate brownies or pots

[tinkerbell23]

I really would love to make choco puddings where the middle is runny and gooey? It always goes wrong on tv chef programmes and they end up with choco sponge!?

Do you have a recipie?.

Samemfor gooooey choco brownies!? Xxxx i fancy giving it a go xx

[vodkancoke]

They are chocolate fondants Tink. I use this recipe but you have to time it to the second or you will just end up with as choc sponge

Hi tink, how are ye?
this is a fairly good one for chocolate brownies......
And it's in metric for a change.....
bob. xxx

250g good-quality dark chocolate about
65-70 per cent cocoa
350g caster sugar
40g plain flour optional
65g good-quality cocoa powder
100g mixed chopped nuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large free-range eggs lightly beaten
250g unsalted butter melted and cooled
Line a traybake tin measuring about 25cm x 20cm x 5cm (or equivalent brownie tin) with baking parchment to overlap on all four sides. Preheat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients, then add the vanilla essence, followed by the beaten eggs, and finally the cooled melted butter. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven. The surface should be lightly cracked when ready. Remove and cool in the tin for 30 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack and remove the baking parchment. Cool for a further 20 minutes before transferring to a chopping board and cutting into 16 equal pieces.
Serve with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream. Stays fresh in an airtight container for up to three days.

Sounds gorgeous....i like it as i dont really like nuts and some involve nuts/cherries :0(

Im good bob hows you?

Thanks guys! Ive been looking at recipies for anything and everything all day lol xxx

[vodkancoke]

Tinks, just omit the nuts and add chocolate chunks or just leave them plain. They are yummy either way! xx

I've made brownies with giant milk and white choc buttons. I also made it with demerara sugar as I think it makes them more gooey in the middle which I love :o)

[tinkerbell23]

The more gooey the better for me...havent made brownies before! (and i call myself a baker!!!!lol) x

Here is a very easy chocolate 'mousse' recipe....it's very rich

225gm *dark* chocolate...I use 85%,but 70% is ok
300ml double cream
1tbsp dark rum
1 tsp vanilla extract

break the chocolate into small pieces
Gently heat the double cream on a low heat....don't allow to boil
remove from heat,and add the chocolate pieces-stir well until dissolved
add the rum and vanilla,and stir
pour into small serving pots or espresso cups.....it will easily serve 6
let set in the fridge for at least an hour

Thank you pasta! Right up my street!! Will note that in my "red book"'xx

I used to make chocolate fondants in little tin pots. The secret with these is the timing. Take them out too early and they are too mushy, take them out too late and they turn into sponge.

I used the Gordon Ramsey recipe for the fondants.

[EvianBaby]

Tinks, I am useless at anything in the kitchen but have used both of these recipes a few times each and they have worked perfectly every time. They're pretty easy too. Makes me want to knock up some brownies now.

[bobthefisherman]

I'm not too bad thanks tink,
Anything you need cake-wise, just let me know, I'll dig out the old books again.... xxx

[pastafreak]

If you make brownies,tink..the secret is to not overbake them. They should get a 'crust ' on top-but be squidgy inside....

[tiggerblue10]

OMG Pasta, I'm going to have to try that now.

[vodkancoke]

Tinks I just realised I gave you Gordon Ramsay's fondant recipe twice! Such a div! This is Delia's brownie recipe:
