Raspberry Brownies with Raspberry Foam
This is probably one of my favorite brownie recipes, and it’s a must-try if you love brownies and have fresh raspberries on hand.
The brownies are dense and slightly moist, with delicious chunks of tart and slightly sweet raspberries, and topped with a soft and creamy raspberry foam. Add more fresh raspberries on top for an incredible visual effect.
Raspberry Brownies with Raspberry Foam
Equipment
- baking tray 30×30 cm (12×12")
Ingredients
For the brownie:
- 150 g butter
- 160 g dark chocolate
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 250 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 150 g flour
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- ½ tsp salt
- 200 g raspberries +extra for decoration
For the raspberry foam:
- 1 egg white
- 1 pinch of salt
- 50 g raspberries
Instructions
Brownies:
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a steam bath, then add the vanilla essence.
- Allow the melted chocolate to reach room temperature.
- While the chocolate is cooling, beat the eggs and sugar until they double in volume and turn into a light-colored airy foam (about 7 minutes).
- Add the cooled melted chocolate to the foam.
- Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt and the three tablespoons of cocoa), then fold the cream in, mixing carefully to avoid lumps.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the mixture, levelling the surface with a wide knife. Sprinkle the raspberries on top, pushing them gently into the mixture until they are three-quarters submerged. The melted chocolate makes this a dense mixture, so the raspberries will sit on top if you don't give them a push.
- Place the brownies in a preheated oven at 180°C/356° F for 20-25 minutes. Reduced the baking time a bit if you wanted a more moist consistency, as in the photos.
Raspberry foam:
- Beat the egg whites and salt until stiff, then gradually pour in the sugar and continue mixing until the sugar melts. To check whether the sugar has melted, rub a little foam between your thumb and index finger. You should not feel any sugar particles. Then add the raspberries and keep mixing until they are crushed.
Cutting and serving:
- Let the brownies cool completely, then cut them with a sharp knife into 5-6 cm/~2-inch squares.
- Add a raspberry foam tuft on top and decorate with fresh raspberries. Simple and absolutely delicious!
