1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup heavy cream

Whisk in the flour, chile powder, cinnamon, salt, orange zest and cloves until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate sauce: Combine the heavy cream, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook, whisking, until melted and barely simmering, 3 to 4 minutes.

ANCHO CHILE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup pecans
4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
Cajeta Sauce, recipe follows
Sifted cocoa powder
1 quart goats milk, cows milk or a mixture of both
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 small cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cream sherry, rum or brandy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler, add sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Place chocolate mixture in a mixing bowl and fold in flour, salt and baking powder. Add pecans and chile powder. Pour mixture into a deep 9 by 13 greased pan and bake in oven for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into 3-inch squares. Serve with Cajeta Sauce, cinnamon ice cream, and sifted cocoa powder.
  • Stir together the milk, sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon stick in medium size heavy pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon water, remove the milk from the heat, and stir in the soda mixture, having a spoon ready to stir the mixture down if it bubbles up. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat, until the mixture thickens into a pale-gold syrup, about 25 minutes. At this point, begin stirring very frequently as the mixture thickens into a caramel-brown syrup that's the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes more. Strain the cajeta sauce through a fine mesh strainer set over a large measuring cup. Let cool for a few minutes, then stir in the sherry, rum or brandy (plus a little water, if necessary, to bring it to 1 1/2 cups). Refrigerate covered. When cold, the cajeta sauce should have the consistency of thin corn syrup.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup cocoa
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Kahlua
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
3/4 cup unsifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (or pecans)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease a 8 x 8 pan.
  • Using a spoon, stir eggs with 3/4-cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla; add melted butter.
  • Sift ground chocolate with flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Stir into egg mixture; add nuts.
  • Stir in chips. Spread into greased pan.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes.
  • For chewy brownies, use 8" pan and shorter baking time.
  • For cake-like brownies, use 9" pan and longer baking time.
  • Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at a moderate temperature. Baking the brownies at too high a temperature will cause them to rise too quickly and then fall, resulting in a dense, gooey texture.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will cause them to crumble. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings. Brownies are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Ancho chile chocolate brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With their rich, chocolatey flavor and a hint of spice, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
