Method
Before starting this, make sure to preheat the oven to 190C/180C Fan/Gas 5.
- Grease a 32x23cm tin and line with parchment.
-
For the caramel, put the sugar in a saucepan and melt over medium heat until dark brown in color.
-
Remove from the heat and carefully add the salt and half the cream.
-
Once the mixture has settled, add the remaining cream and butter.
-
If the mixture is lumpy warm it over low heat and stirs until smooth. Pour into a jug to cool.
-
For the brownies, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a large bowl and set aside.
-
Melt the chocolate and butter in a pan over medium heat, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until thick and pale.
-
Whisk in the chocolate, then fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
-
Pour half the batter into the tin and smooth the surface using a spatula.
-
Add a thin layer of the caramel, making sure to leave the edges clean. Add the remaining batter and gently level the top.
-
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
-
Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
-
Leave to cool slightly then use a fork to drizzle it over the brownies.
-
Leave the chocolate to set slightly before removing it from the tin and cutting it into 12 brownies.
