Ingredients

For the brownie mix

  • 185g dark chocolate
  • 185g baking spread or unsalted butter
  • 275g light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 85g Doves Farm gluten-free plain flour
  • 40g cocoa powder

For the chocolate chunks

  • 50-60g milk chocolate
  • 50-60g white chocolate

For the chocolate drizzle

  • 40-50g dark chocolate
  • 40-50g milk chocolate
  • 40-50g white chocolate

Instructions

Step 1 - Melt the Butter & Dark Chocolate

Break 185g of dark chocolate into a glass mixing bowl and add 185g of butter or baking spread.

Fill a small saucepan about a third full with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Place the bowl on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water. A 15cm pan with a 1-litre Pyrex bowl works well.

Gently heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt and combine smoothly. Once melted, remove from the heat and allow it to cool down.

Step 2 - Prep the Oven & Tin

Preheat your oven to 160°C Fan/180°C/Gas mark 4.

Line a 20-22 cm square baking tin with non-stick greaseproof paper.

Step 3 - Prep the Remaining Ingredients

Ensure all ingredients are ready for mixing:

  • Sift 40g cocoa powder and 85g Doves Farm Gluten-Free Flour into a separate bowl.
  • Chop 50-60g of white & milk chocolate into small chunks and set them aside.
  • Measure out 275g of light brown sugar into your main mixing bowl.

Step 4 - Whisk the Eggs & Sugar

Crack 3 large eggs into the bowl with the sugar.

Using an electric whisk, beat the mixture on a medium-to-high setting for 4-8 minutes. The right consistency is when you can lift the beaters out, and the trail left behind takes a second or so to disappear.

Step 5 - Incorporate the Chocolate Mix

Carefully pour the cooled chocolate mixture into your main mixing bowl.

Fold gently until everything is well-combined, but be cautious not to deflate the mixture.

Step 6 - Add the Flour, Cocoa & Chunks

Gently fold the sifted Doves Farm gluten-free flour and cocoa powder into the mixture, making sure not to overmix.

Stop just before the batter feels fully mixed to prevent overworking the batter. Add the chopped chocolate chunks and stir to mix them evenly through the batter.

Step 7 - Bake for 25-35 Minutes

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking tin and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by seeing if the edges are pulling away from the sides of the tin and that the center has only a slight wobble when gently shaken.

If it isn’t quite ready, return it to the oven and check every 5 minutes until done.

Step 8 - Cooling & Removal

Allow the brownie to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes on a cooling rack before gently removing it from the tin.

Step 9 - Drizzle with Chocolate

Break 40-50g of each chocolate into separate bowls.

Individually melt each type of chocolate in the microwave, and then use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate back and forth over the cooled brownie.

Step 10 - Let It Set

Allow the brownie to cool completely. For a quicker setting, pop it in the fridge for a while until the chocolate drizzle is firm.
