White chocolate, cranberry and walnut brownies
Makes about 20 (depending on cut squares sizes)
Preheat oven to 180oC/350oF
7 oz/200g unsalted butter
7 oz/200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped
3 large eggs
11 oz/300g granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 1/2oz/125g plain flour
a pinch of salt
4 oz/100g white chocolate, cut into chunks
4 oz/100g walnut pieces
4 oz/100g dried cranberries
Grease a 20cm x 30cm baking tin, 3-4cm deep, then line with greaseproof paper. Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
With an electric hand whisk, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until they are thick and creamy. Mix in the melted chocolate and butter. Stir in the flour, salt, white chocolate, walnuts and cranberries. Pour into the prepared baking tin and cook for about 25 minutes until the top is cracking and the centre is just set.
Leave to cool for about 20 minutes, then cut into squares.
Note: these brownies can be prepared in advance then frozen in a single layer in a freezer bag. Defrost and warm to serve.
