Instructions
- Prepare the Nutella-Hazelnut Filling:
- Chop the hazelnuts into small pieces.
- Mix them with the Nutella and set aside.
- Make the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan-assisted).
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs, caster sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract for 4 minutes until creamy.
- Fold in the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture.
- Sift half the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl, fold in gently. Repeat with the remaining flour and cocoa.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chunks.
- Assemble & Bake:
- Line a brownie tin with parchment paper.
- Pour half the brownie batter into the tin.
- Spread the Nutella-hazelnut mixture over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the filling and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes for extra fudgy brownies).
- Let the brownies cool completely before adding the ganache.
- Make the Hazelnut Ganache:
- Heat the cream in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips, let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.
- Assemble & Serve:
- Spread the hazelnut ganache over the cooled brownies.
- Slice into squares and serve as-is or slightly warmed with vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Success
- For extra fudgy brownies, bake for 25 minutes and let them set for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Let the ganache set before slicing for cleaner cuts.
