Custard Swirl, Chocolate and Walnut Brownies

Serves makes 12 brownies

Time 45 minutes including cooking time

Ingredients

150g soft unsalted butter

150g dark chocolate

3 eggs

1 vanilla bean pod, beans scraped

250g caster sugar

½ cup plain flour

½ tsp salt

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup custard + extra to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

Line a 20 cm square baking pan with baking paper. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. 

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla together until sugar has dissolved and mixture is light and fluffy. 

Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix until combined. Add the nuts, flour and salt and mix until smooth. 

Scrape brownie mix into baking pan. Pour over the custard and swirl into the brownie mix with a butter knife. 

Bake in the oven for approx 25-30 minutes or until just set. I like my brownies nice and fudgey!

Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing and serving with a dollop extra custard.
