140g Pumpkin seeds

170g Dark chocolate (64% minimum) 

45g Flour

 

Ingredient for the chocolate sauce

65g Dark Chocolate (64% minimum)

50g Milk

50g Cream

A pinch of vanilla powder

 

Preparation of the Brownie batter and Chocolate Sauce

Preheat the oven to 170°C..

On a baking tray lined with baking paper, scatter the pumpkin seeds 

and roast for 10 minutes.

Mix together the eggs and brown sugar in the bowl with a mixer or by 

hand.

Melt the butter and 110g of chocolate together and mix well.

Pour the eggs and brown sugar into the mixture.

Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour.

Crush the roasted pumpkin seeds and pour 100g into the brownie 

batter, then pour in the 60g chocolate pieces and mix well.

Pour the batter into a well-buttered cake tin.

Add the remaining 40g of pumpkin seeds to the brownie.

Place in the oven at 170°C for 20 minutes, checking with a knife to 

make sure it is cooked through.

Prepare the chocolate sauce while the brownie is baking. Bring the 

milk, cream and vanilla to the boil in a saucepan.

Pour over the chocolate and mix with a whisk (or blend with an 

immersion blender). Leave to thicken in the fridge.

Once the brownie has cooled, cut into wedges. Reheat the chocolate 

sauce so that you can pour it over the brownie.

  • Pulse together walnuts and almonds coarsely.

    Notes:

    1. I found that the cocoa powder in the brownie balls had an overpowering flavour due to which it tasted a little bitter to me. You can increase the dates to balance the taste out. But trust me on this these balls tastes really good the next day rather than the same day. I enjoyed having it 2 3 days later.
    2. Store them in an air tight container for 2 weeks.
