RecipeWhite Chocolate and Macadamia Brownie
220g good quality white chocolate – I use a whole tablet of Cadbury Dream 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1¼ tsp vanilla essence 2 cups plain flour ½ cup coarsely chopped raw macadamia nuts Pre heat the oven to 180° Line a Swiss roll or slice tin with non stick baking paper. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a low heat , when melted add the sugar and stir well, then remove from heat and add the white chocolate, broken into pieces. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted, it may have a curdled appearance at this stage, don’t despair. Mix in the eggs one at a time and stir in the flour, vanilla and the chopped nuts. Pour into a well-greased and lined sponge roll or slice tin. Bake in a moderate oven at 180°C for 35 minutes. Cool and cut into 24 fingers. Serve dusted with icing sugar. |
