It is fine to indulge once in a while. So what better than digging into a brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream? And it only tastes better when the chocolate brownie is homemade. Prepared by chef Anahita Dhondy, the delicious recipe is a must-try.
“This was one of my midnight baking adventures and it actually turned out to be a decadent warm dessert with vanilla ice cream (pure gluttony, not recommended for people on a diet!) But once in a while indulgences are totally encouraged! This is buttery, chocolatey and with a hit of jam! For me, it was a bit extra sweet thus the addition of sea salt on top. But if you like it less sweet please do reduce the sugar or use a substitute. This is a recipe for a small little brownie tin, if you want it for a bigger mould then do double the recipe,” she said.
