Chocolate Brownies

Description

Goes wonderfully with tea and coffee. Chocolate brownies are little chocolate cakes that are brown in colour—that’s how they got their name: “brownie” comes from English and means something like brownish. As far as I know, this little cake was invented in the USA sometime in the 19th century, but today it’s famous all around the world. Brownies pair especially well with coffee. In texture they’re somewhere between a cookie and a cake, though it’s hard to put into words—you really have to try them. Anyway, happy baking! :) Serve cooled or slightly warm.

    Meanwhile, let's make the glaze—no less important a part of our dish. Put heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over low heat; remove from the heat and mix with chocolate chips (you can instead simply chop chocolate into pieces).
