Ingredients

(Makes 1 brownie)

20 g (1½ tbsp) Butter

30 g (1 oz) Dark chocolate - 70% cocoa

30 g (2 tbsp) Sugar

20 g (1½ tbsp) Milk

45 g (4½ tbsp) All purpose flour

Pinch of salt

Chocolate chunks

Method

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. Cut the chocolate into small chunks, and leave the butter in a big piece, otherwise the butter will start to fry before the chocolate gets a chance to melt.

Add the sugar.

Add the room temp milk, flour and salt and mix to combine.

Transfer the mixture into a 10 cm x 10 cm (4 inch x4 inch) container lined with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a wide mug or large tea cup.

Microwave for anywhere between 1 minute and 1 minute and 15 seconds. Do not over cook!

Once you take the brownie out of the microwave, it will be very soft. You can either enjoy it as is with a spoon, or allow it to cool completely before eating. As it cools it will firm up and develop that iconic fudgy brownie texture.

Tips

Please be precise and use the exact amounts given in the recipe.

Every microwave is different. The cook time in your microwave could be anywhere between 1 minute and 1 minute 15 seconds. Check the brownie after 1 minute. Do not over bake.

Once it comes out of the oven you have two options: you can either enjoy it right away with a spoon; or allow the brownie to cool for 15 - 20 minutes to allow it to set.
