Temptress Brownies
Indulgent and deeply satisfying, these brownies draw their richness from Holgate Brewhouse’s Temptress Chocolate Porter, infusing each bite with velvety cocoa notes and a subtle malted depth.
A refined twist on a classic treat, crafted for those who savour flavour with intention.
Prep: 30 minutes / Bake: 30 minutes / Serves: 8
Ingredients
330ml bottle of Temptress
170g unsalted butter
250g dark chocolate
3 Free Range Eggs
225g caster sugar
125g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
½ tsp fine salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp espresso powder (optional)
8 tbsp double cream
Method
Bring the Temptress to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium heat and allow to simmer until reduced down to 2/3 cup, about 20 – 22 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease square baking pan (or line with parchment)
Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30 second increments, whisking after each, until completely smooth. Whisk in the sugar and ½ cup of reduced Temptress until completely combined. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Finally, whisk in the flour, salt and espresso powder (if using). The batter will be thick and shiny. Pour/spread evenly into prepared pan
Bake for 32 minutes, then test the brownies with a toothpick to see if cooked
