Valentine’s Day is getting close, have you decided what’s for dessert?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! ? these raspberry chocolate brownies are the perfect gift for your loved one or a special treat for yourself.
What’s the secret to a dense, keto brownie?
The secret to a good keto brownie comes down to a few things. Dutch processed cocoa, espresso and salt. Those ingredients combine to make a super-rich chocolatey dessert that doesn’t need much else.
Of course, once you get the basic brownie down pat, you’ll never have to worry about finding another brownie recipe ever again.
There are few expert tips when it comes to making these brownies:
- Sifting all your dry ingredients is MUST
- Giving the brownies a good “bash” against the kitchen table halfway through is KEY
- Using a good quality flaked sea salt to cover is FLAVOUR CITY
Your Questions Answered:
What if I don’t have espresso powder for this recipe?
If you don’t have espresso powder, you can use freeze-dried instant coffee, or a simple shot of espresso.
What if I don’t have dutch cocoa powder, can I still use normal cocoa powder?
If you don’t have Dutch cocoa powder, you can also use normal cocoa powder, but it won’t be as dense.
Can I use Frozen Raspberries instead of fresh?
Of course, however, please let them thaw out before placing them on top of the brownie, otherwise, you will end up with little pools of water in your brownie (Nobody likes a soggy brownie)
How long can I keep these for? Do they freeze well?
I usually keep these in an airtight container and munch on them for up to 7 days. I have frozen a batch before, and they actually defrost really well, so go ahead and store some in the freezer for a prolonged brownie.
