Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a 20cm square baking tin. • Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan. • Roughly chop hazelnuts.

TIP: Brownies are best if you bake them the day before serving. If you prefer your brownies with a fudgey texture, refrigerate the brownies overnight before serving, or keep them at room temperature if you like them cakey!

• Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. • Add chocolate brownie mix, melted butter and a pinch of salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well combined.

• Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread with the back of the wooden spoon. Top with roasted hazelnuts.

• Bake brownie for 25-28 minutes or until just firm to the touch but still a little soft in the middle.

TIP: To check if the brownies are done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out with crumbs clinging. If you like your brownie more cakey and less fudgey, bake for an extra 5 minutes. TIP: The brownies will firm up more once they've cooled. Allow to cool completely in the baking tin.

• While the brownies are baking, in a medium bowl, add mixed berry compote, the sugar and the balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat and set aside. • Once the brownies have cooled, slice into 9 squares.

• Place brownies onto a serving plate. Top with light cooking cream and the balsamic berry compote. Enjoy!

TIP: Store any leftover brownies and berry compote in an airtight container! Enjoy!
