Chocolate Frosted Walnut Brownies

So, here I am sharing a recipe for brownies topped with a chocolate frosting. These could be the richest and the most decadent brownies you have ever tried. Surely, not a recipe for weight watchers. This is what you need to know about these.

75 gm butter
50 gm cocoa powder
2 eggs
100 gm white sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
75 gm plain flour
75 gm chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp baking powder

for the chocolate frosting :
2 tbsp butter
50 gm icing sugar
1 tbsp honey
50 gm dark chocolate
1tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

for the garnishing:
50 gm almonds

Preheat oven to 180 C. Melt the butter and beat in sugar, eggs and vanilla essence. Make sure to powder the sugar, in case you are using granulated one. Mix in sifted flour and baking powder. Prepare a 8 inches square tin with butter paper. Pour in the batter and spread it evenly and put it oven for 25 – 30 minutes for baking. Meanwhile, for the frosting, melt the chocolate over a double boiler and then mix all the ingredients and beat them until the mix is very smooth. If the frosting is too thick, mix in a tbsp of milk, so that it can easily be spread over. Once, the brownies are baked, pour in the frosting when the brownies are still warm. For garnishing, blanch the almonds, toast them in a pan and chop them finely. Sprinkle the almonds generously over the frosting. Bake it for another 5 minutes. Once the brownies are completely cooled off, place them in refrigerator for 2 hours and then using a sharp knife, cut them in small squares or rectangles, depending upon, which shape you like more. You may need to dip knife in warm water, for each cut.

And all you get out of this easy and quick recipe,  the brownies which are dense, gooey, chocolate-y on the inside, moist all over and well-set around the edges. These can be kept for a day or two.
