It was always chocolate. Dark bittersweet chocolate chunks.
A fragrance cocoa powder. A smooth luxury butter. A combination of all those
with sparkling caster sugar and flour that make brownies become delicate damply
rich chocolate cake.
Ah brownies: fudgy, bittersweet, dense brownies. You are
always the top list of all sweet treats, from the crazy midnight craving until
elegant afternoon tea set. You were always there. To cheer up a crybaby naughty
kids until a melodramatic grown up. And no force could acquiesce you. I guess
the term guilty pleasure is solely invented to describe you.
Lately, the Triple Chocolate River Brownies is on the hype
of any food blogger here. Starting from facebook, it goes viral and seems like
someone would trap forever in yesterday if she hasn’t made it yet. And since I
am a hype person – if hype is translated into trend follower – I eventually forced
myself to make it. Although I was ran out of eggs. And palm sugar. And
chocolate chips. And the time when I was measure the ingredients, I’ve just
realized that my hand mixer is Rest In Peace. So be it. The brownies mood was
on fire and I wouldn’t waste it.
So here is my cheated version of Triple Chocolate River
Brownies by Ummu Allegra (I beg you pardon Ummu, I don’t even know you to thank
to you for inspiring me). If you already known the real recipe, mine is far
different from her. So let say it is not tweaked version, it is an inspired from
TCR Brownies by Ummu Allegra.
200 gr plain flour
40 gr dutch processed cocoa
150 gr castor sugar
1 tbsp instant coffee
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
30 gr melted butter
50 ml thickened cream
100 gr dark chocolate, melted
1.
Pre heat oven to 170 c.
2.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, and wet
ingredients in another bowl.
3.
Pour the wet to the dry, mix thoroughly.
4.
Turn into a 24 cm square baking tin, bake in the
oven for 25-30 minutes. Once cooler, cut carefully, four down, four across into
16 squares to feed 16, no, 8, no, but 4 greedy mouth. Well, though it doesn’t
have to.
Fyi, you wouldn’t find any shiny golden crust on top of it
like it should had. And since I skipped the leavening agents, it also would
zero from sponge. It is fudge chocolate brownies; a dense, bit crumbly,
chocolate rich, faintly sweet, partly bitter and wholly addictive.
Is it that good? No. it is that great. My sister, her
boyfriend and I literally fight over the last piece of this brownie. Try, then
prove that I am wrong.
