Trust Me! : MonoChrome Brownie

Cooking for me is like the best therapy. Trying to survive in the creative field which is now more digital and computer based, its a good change to do something physically creative!!! And cooking is something, which is a delight for your mind, eyes and tummy!

After a very hectic day, honestly being very mentally exhausted something yummy was needed. And with that time of the month coming closer, a lot of chocolate craving were happening. I had read this brownie recipe in one of my mom's recipe diaries so decided to experiment around the chocolate brownie! But with my father being diabetic decided to tweak the recipe! So went ingredient hunting (at 9 pm) so settled for white chocolate chips instead of normal chocolate chips. And it turned out to be amazing! Here is the recipe for the mono - chrome brownie.

Ingredients

4 eggs

2 cups cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

2 1/2 tsp espresso powder

1 tbsp vanilla essence

1 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 sugar-free (the quantity of sugar can vary according the level of sweetness desired)

2 cups chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups flour

Process

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square 9x9 inch pan

Step 2 - Beat together eggs, cocoa, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla until smooth. I added some extra espresso powder to make the coffee flavour more dominant and contrasting to the white chocolate chips.

Step 3 - Melt butter in the microwave.

Step 4 - Add the sugar-free to the melted butter and combine. Microwave mixture in about 10-15 second increments, mixing each time, until the mixture is hot but not bubbly. Heating this mixture will dissolve more of the sugar and give a shiny crust on top of the brownies.

Step 5 - Add the butter mixture to the eggs mixture and mix until smooth

Step 6 - Microwave the chocolate chips in about 20 second increments until fairly soft, but not totally melted. NOTE: If you want them to be totally incorporated,then melt them completely. But if you want them to be chunks in the brownies, do not microwave them. I personally prefer chunky chips so directly put them in the batter.

Step 7 - Add flour and chocolate chips to batter and mix until smooth.
