This week's recipe: Fudgy brownies
 
 

Fudgy brownies are the epitome of a chocolate lover's dessert. Their rich cocoa flavour and gooey texture make you want more.

As with most recipes, there's no need for complex instructions, but many call for expensive ingredients, including chocolate with a high-percentage cocoa content and often a blend of white, milk, and dark chocolate.

Mary Berry's recipe is unique in using Bourneville chocolate, a dark but sweet creation by Cadbury. The chocolate bar has 36% cocoa, so it's balanced with bitterness and sweetness, which Mary deems right for her "ultimate" brownies.

Sharing the delicious formula in her cookbook, Cook and Share, Mary branded the brownies her "favourite", stating they have "a wrinkled top and a gooey middle”, which comes down to one simple step in the recipe.
