Best 3 Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cake Recipes

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

Steps:

• For the brownie batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the black beans, chocolate chips, maple syrup, olive oil, cocoa powder, almond extract and eggs in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Fold in the puffed rice cereal. Spoon the batter into individual baking molds or an 8-by-8-inch greased baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the maple-almond puffed rice granola: Combine the almonds, rice cereal and maple sugar together in a bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the maple sugar while hot. Let cool, then break apart with a wooden spoon if necessary.
• For the maple-almond mascarpone frosting: Combine the mascarpone, almond butter and maple syrup in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachement. Whip until well combined.
• Frost the cooled brownie and top with puffed rice granola

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 4cm-deep, 20 x 20cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Melt 200g of the chocolate together with the butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl until pale and foamy - it should look like a frothy milkshake. This will take 2-3 mins with an electric whisk, or about 5-8 mins with a balloon whisk. Pour in the butter and chocolate mixture along with the almonds, then fold everything together until there are no streaks of chocolate. Tip the mixture into the tin, scatter over the rest of the chocolate, and bake for 25 mins, until cooked with a slight wobble in the middle.
• Leave to cool for 10 mins, then scoop into bowls and serve warm for a pudding. Alternatively, leave to cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares and store in an airtight tin. Will keep for up to five days.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE BROWNIES (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Grease an 8-inch baking pan with 1 teaspoon butter. Add cocoa powder; move pan around to spread evenly. Turn pan upside down over the sink; tap gently to remove excess cocoa. Place baking pan inside a larger baking pan.
• Place chocolate, 1/4 cup butter, and coconut oil in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is almost completely melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in the same saucepan from the double boiler.
• Whisk eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Mix vanilla extract and espresso together in a separate bowl until espresso is dissolved. Pour vanilla extract mixture into egg mixture. Add salt. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture.
• Pour chocolate batter into the prepared 8-inch pan. Pour simmering water into the larger baking pan to create a hot water bath.
• Bake brownies in the water bath in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs attached, 52 to 55 minutes.
• Remove 8-inch pan carefully from the hot water bath. Invert onto a wire rack lined with parchment paper. Cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Cut into squares and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
