You have never seen a dessert on my blog because I don't really do desserts. I like to eat them but I'm not great at making them. However, my friend Shannon is and she made this beauty while staying at my house. It's all about the chocolate.
It begins with a rich, chocolate pudding (chocolate mousse would also be yummy). It's a cheat from a box, that's okay, it tastes delicious.
This very decadent part is not a cheat. These brownies can be made ahead and are the star of the show.
Triple Chocolate Brownies
10 oz (300 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
⅔ cup (150 mL) unsalted butter
¾ cup (175 mL) sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
3 large eggs
½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
3 oz (90 g) white chocolate chips or chunks
3 oz (90 g) milk chocolate chunks
1. Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C) and grease and line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl resting over a pot of barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stirring gently. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla.
3. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour and salt. Fold in white and milk chocolate chips.
4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the brownies comes out clean. Cool before slicing.

For the rest of the dessert you need approximately:
4 - 5 strawberries halved

 | Make your pudding or mousse following the instructions on the box. Shannon used the type shown. Then, gently spoon about an inch of pudding into each dish. You can then add your whipped cream. Using a can of whip cream made it very simple but any kind would do. Chill these two components until ready to eat. Then place brownies and strawberries as seen in the picture below. |
The whip cream can be homemade or from a can. You can always say you made it from scratch.
It looks so beautiful and it is not that difficult. Love it! Thanks Shannon.
