Experience the delightful fusion of earthy ube and rich chocolate in these show-stopping swirl brownies. Perfect for an afternoon treat or special occasion, these brownies combine the subtle sweetness and vibrant color of ube with the decadence of fudgy chocolate.
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 150g unsalted butter
- 250g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 30g cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 150g ube jam
- 50ml coconut milk
- 50g cream cheese, softened
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 23cm (9-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. In a separate bowl, blend the ube jam, coconut milk, and cream cheese until smooth.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the ube mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the ube mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
