Cook With Avonmore: Gooey Chocolate Orange Brownies

We are loving the new Avonmore Fresh Dessert Cream. Thicker than fresh cream, but with a lower fat content, there's no whipping involved so it's as simple as open, and pour.

So, we had a think about our favourite desserts, and what would go well with this new tasty treat. First up: gooey chocolate orange brownies. Delicious!

Ingredients

• 250g of Avonmore butter
• 250g of good quality dark chocolate (60 or 70% cocoa solids)
• Four large eggs
• 90g of cocoa powder such as Bourneville
• 70g of plain flour
• 1tsp of baking powder
• 350g of castor sugar
• Zest of one large orange
• Avonmore Fresh Dessert Cream

Method

• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius or Gas Mark Four. Line a 25cm baking tin with greaseproof paper.
• Bring a saucepan of water to the boil before placing a Pyrex bowl over the simmering water. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water.
• Melt together the butter and the chocolate in the bowl and remove from the heat. Add the orange zest to the mixture.
• Sieve all of the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, sugar, flour and baking powder) into a separate bowl and before adding them to the chocolate and butter mixture.
• Stir well before beating in your eggs (one at a time) until smooth.
• Next, pour your mixture into your prepared baking tray and bake for around thirty minutes.
• The brownies should be springy to touch and gooey on the inside.
• Allow the brownies cool slighty in the tray before cutting into squares.
• Pour Avonmore Fresh Dessert Cream over, and enjoy!
