It's hard to improve on a good basic brownie recipe, and Nigella's recipe from Domestic Goddess is my favourite, but here is something we tried last night because we had the ingredients and it felt like a nice, festive thing to do. We weren't disappointed. These were VERY rich, VERY chocolatey, VERY fudgy and maybe just a bit too grown up for the kids, although it didn't stop them from scoffing them at breakfast this morning. We used Leslie Keating's recipe and I added more fresh ginger than the recipe called for, which left a pleasant hum of warm ginger after each bite. I also reduced the amount of sugar, just slightly, because the mound I'd poured out seemed like a lot. We didn't miss it but I added a few white choc chunks so maybe that was why. Next time, I'm going to add a teaspoon of orange zest.
We ate them warm with cheap vanilla ice cream, which balanced out the intensity just nicely.
