Hector's Orange & Mango Brownies

These deliciously rich chocolate brownies are a real treat as a desert.

Serves 15

Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

250g Good quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)

150g Plain flour, sieved
250g Unsalted Butter
350g Caster sugar
4 Free range eggs, beaten
50g Chopped Nuts
90g Dried Mango peices (or dried sour cherries if you prefer)
Zest of 1 large orange

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees (fan) or gas mark 4.

In a large mixing bowl over a pan of gently boiling water, melt the butter and the chocolate and mix until smooth. At this point, mix in the chopped nuts, the orange zest and your dried mango pieces.

In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the caster sugar and the flour. Now add this to your chocolate, folding and mixing it in. We now add the beaten eggs and mix it all together until silky.

Now line a baking tin (Approx 30cm x 15cm, and 2-3cm deep) with grease proof paper and add the brownie mix.

Bake your brownie for exactly 35 mins. Take out and leave to cool before cutting up into small portions.
