Cocoa powder adds intensity, while melted chocolate imparts depth and that moist and somewhat dense quality that you want in any good brownie. Here, that fudginess is also achieved by adding sweetened condensed milk to the batter, and by cooking the brownies in the pan just until they are set on the outside, or longer if you prefer the inside to also be more firm. Melted chocolate is used to pipe on the hearts.
Ingredients
- 75 grams baker's chocolate
- 30 grams margarine
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 15 grams all purpose flour
- 75 grams condensed milk

- For the chocolate hearts, break chocolate into small pieces and place inside a plastic bag.
- Place bag inside a bowl full of very hot water, so chocolate melts inside the bag.
