Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup dark chocolate

Deluxe brownies are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining rich dark chocolate, crunchy macadamia nuts, and tart raspberries for an indulgent treat. These brownies are perfect for special occasions or whenever you're in the mood for something extra special. Follow this recipe to create moist, flavorful brownies that will impress family and friends alike.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Melt Butter and Dark Chocolate:
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, dry cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined.
6. Add Mix-Ins:
Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts and half of the white chocolate. Gently fold the chopped macadamia nuts, chopped white chocolate, and fresh raspberries into the brownie batter.
7. Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Break the remaining white chocolate into small pieces and sprinkle them over the top of the batter for a decorative and flavorful touch.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. The brownies should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
9. Cool:
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will help them set and be easier to slice.
10. Slice and Serve:
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
11. Enjoy:
Serve the Deluxe Brownies as they are, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Tips:
- To ensure even melting, chop both the dark and white chocolate into small, uniform pieces.
- Allow the melted butter and dark chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking prematurely.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid crushing them and releasing excess moisture.
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies. They will continue to cook as they cool in the pan.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to achieve clean, neat squares.
Your deluxe brownies are ready to be enjoyed! Whether you're serving them at a gathering or indulging on your own, these decadent brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. With the perfect balance of rich chocolate, creamy white chocolate, and juicy raspberries, each bite is a delightful experience.
