Scotch Walnut Brownies With Chocolate Coverture Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

• 2 ½ oz. butter
• 5 ½ oz. bittersweet (70% cacao) chocolate
• 1 tbsp. de Scotch Whisky
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ tsp. Vanilla extract
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. Baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt

• ¾ cup chopped walnuts
• 3.5 oz. bittersweet (70% cacao) chocolate
• 3 tbsp. cream

• 25/30 pcs. caramelized walnuts

Directions

1. Turn oven to 375°F
2. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with a sheet of parchment papers, making sure the sides are fully lined (let some excess paper overlap outside the edges). Butter the parchment paper and dust with flour. Tap the excess flour out.
3. Place the butter, chocolate and whisky in small sauce pan and melt using Bain Marie until chocolate is melted completely.
4. Using an electric hand blender, beat the eggs with the sugar and the vanilla extract until light and frothy. Fold into the above chocolate-whisky-butter mix. Sift the flour with the baking powder, mixing gently. Add the chopped nuts and pour into the baking pan.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the top is golden and flaky. Remove from oven and let cool. Unmold when fully cooled.
6. For the frosting, melt the chocolate (microwave or Bain Marie). Add the cream and blend until combined. Spread over the surface of the brownies covering. Let cool completely, until the ganache is hard and cut into squares using a knife warmed under warm water (dry it first).
7. Garnish with a caramelized walnut.
