2-Ingredients Flourless Nutella Brownies

I made this desert to be served during our Hari Raya Aidiladha lunch recently and have never seen a plateful of anything go down so fast. These brownies are made with just Nutella and eggs. That's it. They're incredibly easy to fix.  

This recipe is from Nigella Lawson's cookbook Simply Nigella. I was inspired by The Domestic Goddess Wannabe to make this brownie.

2-Ingredients Flourless Nutella Brownies

Ingredients

4 large eggs

A pinch of fine sea salt

270gm Nutella

½ tsp icing sugar (optional)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and a pinch of salt (at high speed) until they have more than doubled in volume and have turned pale, aerated and mousselike. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

In the meantime, place the Nutella in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (a ban marie) to soften. Stir this occasionally for 3-4 minutes, until the Nutella is warm and slightly runny.

Pour the Nutella into the mixing bowl, whisking all the while until all the Nutella is combined. This will deflate the egg mixture but it is okay.

Pour the batter into a lined and lightly greased 8×8-inch square pan.

Bake this at 180°C for 17-20 minutes or until the top is dry and the middle is tender but set.

Leave the brownie to cool in the pan. As it cools, the brownie will shrink away from the sides of the pan.

When the brownie is cool, cut it into 16 squares. Dust with icing sugar if desired and serve!
