Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 70 g of flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 85 g of dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa for an intense flavor)
- 85 g of unsalted butter
- 225 g of sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for decoration (raspberries, blueberries, currants, pomegranate seeds, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. This is an essential step, as a consistent temperature ensures even baking of the brownie tart.
2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are homogeneous. It’s important to set this mixture aside to avoid lumps in the batter.
3. Melt the butter and chocolate: In a medium saucepan, add the butter and dark chocolate. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until both ingredients melt and combine perfectly. Make sure not to let them boil, as this can affect the texture. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
4. Combine the ingredients: Add the sugar to the butter and chocolate mixture and mix well. Then, add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until you obtain a uniform composition. Finally, incorporate the flour mixture, stirring gently to avoid developing gluten, which could make the tart too tough.
5. Bake: Grease a 24 cm tart pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface with a spatula. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool: Once the tart is baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack.
7. Serve: Decorate the brownie tart with freshly whipped cream and berries. The raspberries and blueberries add a note of acidity that balances the sweetness of the chocolate, while the pomegranate seeds provide an elegant touch.
Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate, depending on your preferences.
- For an extra flavor boost, you can add ground nuts or candied orange slices to the brownie mixture.
- If you want an even more decadent dessert, serve the brownie tart warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
This brownie tart is truly a total delight, perfect for impressing guests or indulging yourself on an ordinary evening. Enjoy every slice and savor its intense flavor!
