Brownie Recipe For One
With this brownie recipe for one, you can have a single serve brownie in 5 minutes. It's chocolatey, gooey, rich, fudgy and absolutely hits the spot.
Servings: 1 brownie
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl microwave safe
- Ramekin microwave safe
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 25 g dark chocolate 70% (bittersweet) roughly chopped
- 15 g salted butter cubed
- 25 g white caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1 medium egg white room temp, beaten
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 10 g plain white flour (all purpose flour)
- 50 g milk chocolate chips
To top
- 10 g milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Put the butter and chopped dark chocolate in a small, heatproof bowl. Gently melt until smooth. You can use the microwave to do this, using 5 second bursts and stirring after each burst. Be careful as it’s such a small amount it can burn very quickly.
- Whisk the sugar in. The mixture will thicken - graininess at this stage is fine.
- If the mixture is hot, wait until it's just slightly warm before adding the beaten egg white, vanilla and flour. Whisk together until smooth.
- Stir in all but a tablespoon of chocolate chips.
- Grease a small, microwave safe ramekin. It should be able to hold all of the mixture with 1½cm (½ inch) of clear space at the top. Spoon the batter in and level off.
- Microwave on full power for 45 seconds , then push a skewer into the centre - it should reveal sticky crumbs. If it doesn’t, cook in further 10 second bursts until you have the right consistency. Remember everyone's microwave is different!
- Place on a wire rack, top with the remaining chocolate chips and leave to cool for 5 minutes so that you don’t burn your mouth, then dig in.
- Alternatively, you can allow the brownie to cool completely, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. You can then tip it out and pop in a lunchbox, if you like. If it’s stuck in the container, a knife around the inside of the dish, then run a little warm water over the bottom of the dish and the brownie should slide out.
