Serves That depends! Prep time 40 mins

Black garlic brownies are as decadent as they sound. Black garlic is also a great way of getting garlic into sweet dishes and has an unusual but delicious flavour.

INGREDIENTS

• 275g good quality chocolate
• 185g unsalted butter
• 275g caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 6 cloves black garlic
• 85g flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 large eggs

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 9x9 pan and set aside.
3. Melt butter and chocolate together over steaming water. Melt only until just blended together, not to a point that the butter separates.
4. Remove from heat and mix in the sugar. The mixture will be grainy. Add one egg at a time, whisking each egg into the batter.
5. In a small bowl, use a fork to mash thoroughly the black garlic into a paste.
6. Add the garlic, vanilla, and salt to the batter and mix thoroughly.
7. Add flour to batter and mix thoroughly.
8. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly, smoothing top.
9. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until top has a dull finish.
10. Cool on a rack.
