Chocolate Ganache
- Add chocolate and cream into a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, mixing each time until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to set.

To soften the ganache to spreading or piping consistency microwave for 10 seconds at a time, mixing each time with a large spatula until it reaches the right consistency. Allow to set at room temp.
Brownies
- Preheat a fan forced oven to 175C (340F). Spray an 8by 8 inch square pan with non stick cooking spray and lay the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add butter and chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time and repeat until it becomes smooth.
- Add flour, eggs, sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix on low speed using the paddle attachment or a wooden spoon until everything is combined.
- Slowly add chocolate and butter mixture while mixing on low speed.
- Add batter to baking tin lined with baking paper. Bake for 30 min or until a pick comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool down completely before using a large knife to cut up into 4x4 rows. You’ll end up with 16 brownie cubes.
