This 12 months, though, Mark and i can alternate small items, cook dinner at home and enjoy a delicious dessert made with love, like these brownie and fresh fruit truffles. using freshly whipped cream, some handfuls of berries, my liked cocoa brownie recipe and a drizzle of caramel, this decadent dessert changed into pure heaven! All I did changed into bake a batch of my high-quality Cocoa brownies, whipped up some Vanilla Whipped Cream, and crowned it off with our favorite fruits. simple, sincere and so scrumptious. no longer to say, a romantic dessert for two!
INGREDIENTS:
Brownies (Makes 12 square/4 heart-shaped brownies)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1-1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Vanilla whipped cream (Makes 2 cups)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- To assemble, gather:
- Brownies
- Whipped cream
- Fresh fruit (I used raspberries, strawberries and blueberries)
- Caramel sauce, optional
- Pastry bag and large tip, optional
DIRECTIONS:
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
- Melt 1/2 cup butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gently stir in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 28-30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before cutting.
Vanilla whipped cream
- In a chilled, medium-sized bowl and using chilled beaters, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until soft peaks form. Store in the refrigerator.
To assemble
- Cut cooled brownies into desired shape with cookie cutters or a knife. Set aside.
- Using a pastry bag with a large tip (I used a Wilton 1M), or carefully with a small spoon, outline your desired shape with the whipped cream on top of the brownies. Place brownies on a plate and freeze for 20 minutes to harden the whipped cream slightly.
- After 20 minutes, top the tarts with your favorite fresh fruit, and if you’d like, drizzle with a little caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
