CHOCOLATE FIG BROWNIES



Chocolate Fig Brownies image

This is a variation on the Green and Black's/Linda McCartney recipe, substituting fig puree for some of the butter. Shockingly delicious, with a fudgy texture which improves over time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12-14 squares, 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

175 g pureed dried figs
125 g butter
300 g good quality chocolate (70%/85%, I always use Green and Black's)
400 g sugar
5 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
200 g flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt (optional)
150 g roasted nuts (optional, but I like hazelnuts and almonds)

Steps:

  • To make fig puree, cover about 125-150g of dried figs with boiling water (figs+water to equal 175g). Keep warm (you can microwave on low for 5 minutes or so or put in a small pan over low heat). Soak until soft (about 10 minutes) and puree in food processor or with stick blender. The puree should have a texture similar to thick batter or soft butter. If it's too thick, add a little water or if it's too thin, add more softened figs. (If you find you've made a bit more than the 175g you need for the brownies, you can use it to top toast or porridge or substitute for butter in biscuit or flapjack recipes.).
  • Melt butter and chocolate together in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or put it in the microwave on low for about two minutes (check, stir and repeat until melted).
  • Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla together until thick and creamy, then add 175g of the fig puree and then the chocolate/butter mixture.
  • Sift together flour and baking powder (add a pinch of salt if desired) into the bowl and combine.
  • If adding nuts, roast under grill or in a hot pan, chop and add.
  • Pour into baking pan or loaf tins. I use silicone, which doesn't need preparation, but a metal tin should be greased and either floured or lined with baking paper.
  • Bake at 180°C/350 F/gas mark 4 for about 30 minutes or until the brownie begins to crack and does not wobble when shaken. This may take slightly less or slightly more time depending on how hot your oven is and how you like your brownies (ie longer baking time makes a cakier, less fudgy brownie). Cool and cut into squares.
  • A note about substitutions: this recipe is amazingly robust and seems foolproof. Feel free to make prudent and appropriate substitutions as long as you keep the correct proportions of wet and dry ingredients. I often cut the sugar (by 30-50g) and just add an equal amount of flour instead. You can use prunes instead of figs, or substitute spelt flour for wheat. I once used 200g of chocolate and substituted 5 tablespoons of cocoa with an extra tablespoon of fig puree for the rest. Significant subs can be made within reason.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the pan
1 1/2 cups dried figs, chopped
5 pitted Medjool dates, chopped
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil an 8-by-8-inch baking pan.
  • Put the figs and dates in a medium bowl and cover with very hot water until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor; process until very smooth.
  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in a small bowl.
  • Add the melted chocolate and oil to the fruit puree and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla and pulse to combine. Add the flour mixture and pulse until just combined. Then add 1/2 cup of walnuts and pulse until the walnuts are in pieces about the size of peas.
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Break up the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts into small pieces and push into the top of the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist with a little bit of batter clinging to it, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Cut into 16 squares. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • To make the brownies fudgier, reduce the amount of flour by 1/4 cup.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the brownies for a few minutes longer.
  • To make the brownies more moist, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or candy to the batter.
  • Be sure to use fresh figs for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh figs, you can use dried figs that have been soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • Serve the brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Chocolate fig brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor, gooey texture, and sweet figs, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
