Making the perfect fudgy brownies aren’t as difficult to make as you think – not with this simple tip.
Brownies are a favourite sweet treat for many Brits but getting them to taste as good as ones you might buy isn’t always easy.
The best way to make your brownies extra fudgy is to add more chocolate to your mix.
If your brownies are always coming out of the oven dry, cakey, not sweet enough or stiff then you can turn it around with this simple tip.
To get the perfect chewy, soft, fudgy texture you want, adding more chocolate is a quick fix.
But it’s important to make sure you are putting the chocolate into the batter whole rather than finely chopped.
Alternatively some bakers say adding an extra egg to your mix could help you gain that extra fudginess.
You can also replace any water in the recipe with milk which can help to increase the creaminess of the brownie.
Another idea for making your brownies fudgier is to slightly undercook them – but you must make sure you’re not going to be biting into raw batter.
When you put a knife or toothpick into the brownies to test if they are done, usually you would ensure it comes out clear before concluding they are ready.
However, some bakers suggest making sure the brownies are mostly done but just slightly undercooked before taking them out of the oven and letting them cool.
Make sure to let them cool fully before you cut them if you do decide to give this method a go.
This means the sweet treat will come out less dry and will have a more moist and dense texture.
Some bakers also suggest using a higher quality chocolate which they say adds flavour, sweetness and creates a creamier texture.
Once you’ve achieved the perfect brownie, you can consider adding some other elements to elevate the taste.
For example, some serve with a sprinkle of sea salt which creates a contrast and enhances flavour.
Others who enjoy coffee may choose to bake some espresso powder into their batter which creates a deeper flavour.
Some serve with vanilla ice cream or even add some raspberries to the plate.
