Does anyone have those moments when you’re craving something- don’t have the full ingredient list - but end up creating an incredible meal or bake with what you have on hand?
My Ferrero Rocher Brownies is just that, and was baked without key ingredients - sugar, cocoa powder and butter. (Sorry pause, what recipe developer doesn’t have these basic ingredients always in the pantry? I need to ask myself some questions, haha.) Anywho, these brownies are made with just six ingredients - hazelnuts, chocolate, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda and salt. The hazelnuts are blended into a paste, which replaces the flour & butter (it’s rather magic!), and the sugars in the chocolate provide the sweetness. The ingredients are simply blended in a food processor, then baked into a divine brownie - with a fudgy interior and cookie-like crust. The hazelnut flavour that lightly scents the brownies is rather iconic too, hence the name Ferrero Rocher. See recipe video here. Enjoy! Love, Alex.

Ingredients 2 cups (260g) roasted hazelnuts, without skins 1 ½ cups (300g) chopped milk or dark chocolate of choice - I like a semisweet dark chocolate around 40-50% 2 large eggs, room temperature 1 tbsp vanilla extract ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ¼ tsp fine sea salt Method Preheat the oven 180°c and line a 20cm square brownie tin with baking paper. Add the roasted hazelnuts and chocolate into a food processor - blend until a smooth butter. (The mix will come together in a ball, before loosening into a butter - this can take up to 15 minutes depending on your food processor. The chocolate will naturally melt during this process also.) Once a smooth chocolatey nut butter, allow the mix to slightly cool, before adding the remaining ingredients. Blend for a further 30 seconds until the batter forms a dough. Evenly press the dough into your lined brownie tin, then bake for 15- 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely, before slicing into 9 - 16 squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Makes 9- 16 Brownies
