INGREDIENTS
170 g butter, chopped
170 g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon sea salt (reduce by half if using table salt)
75 g caster sugar
100 g light brown sugar
30 g cocoa powder
4 egg whites
125 g all-purpose flour
METHOD
1. Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Butter the bottom and sides of a 20 cm tin and line it with parchment paper, ensuring the sides extend for easy lifting. Set aside.
2. Melting Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
3. Whisking and Mixing:
While the chocolate mixture cools, whisk caster sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl.
Add egg whites and whisk until incorporated.
Whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture.
Sift the flour directly into the mixing bowl and whisk until fully incorporated.
4. Baking:
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and place it in the oven. Reduce the heat to 175 degrees Celsius and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The brownies are done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not over-bake).
5. Cooling and Serving:
Place the baking tin on a wire rack and let the brownies cool completely.
Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and get ready to indulge!
These Egg White Chocolate Brownies strike the perfect balance between decadence and a lighter treat. With a fudgy texture and intense chocolate flavor, they are sure to become a favorite in your repertoire. Enjoy the guilt-free pleasure of chocolate goodness!
