When Nestlé Dessert® challenged me to make a recipe with their new chocolate bar, I immediately thought of brookie, this half-brownie half-cookie hybrid cake. The advantage of this dessert is that it can be made in record time! So if the craving for chocolate is too strong, you know which dessert to turn to !
For the brownie part, nothing very complicated ! You will need good dark chocolate and slivers of hazelnuts (or opt for their tablet) but also sugar, eggs, butter and flour. I have intentionally less sugar this recipe because the chocolate used is not very strong in cocoa (49% minimum) and was therefore already sweet enough. I also chose a mixture of muscovado sugar (unrefined sugar) and blond or brown sugar to add a caramelized note.
For the cookie part, I used the same chocolate that I detailed in large chocolate chips. Once done, spread the cookie dough over the raw brownie. No need to bother to arrange it correctly because when cooking it will eventually spread. For a melting chocolate brookie, I advise you to cook it for 25 minutes. If you like it more "compact", extend the cooking time by at least 5 minutes.
For this recipe, I used a 24 cm cake mold, but you can totally use a circle or a frame. Remember to surround it with aluminum so that the dough does not escape during cooking. If you like a brooky stronger in chocolate, I invite you to consult my other recipe (right here).
Do not hesitate to give me your feedback on this recipe if you make it :)
