Naked Chocolate Brownies

Naked Chocolate Brownies

This is my purely delicious brownie recipe from my 80/20 book. It's the perfect recipe for Valentine's Day and chocolate lovers. You can use cacao which gives it a lighter and more subtle chocolate flavour or a lush dark cocoa such as my Naked Chocolat Dark that gives depth and intensity to the whole taste experience. I love to top them with lots of red fruits such as fresh or dried berries and serve in small delicate bite-sized portions that really satisfy.
