I'm in the process of making a brownie mosaic cheesecake and I wanted to let you all in on a stream-lining tip I discovered. The cheesecake involves making a batch of brownies, cutting them into cubes and folding them into the cheesecake batter. I really wanted to use BB in GV, but balked at the idea of using three mixing bowls to make just one component of the cake. The one-bowl brownie suggested in the recipe I was using (smitten kitchen) used baking chocolate, which I don't have. So, I used her one-bowl method with the BB in GV ingredients and...it totally worked! I'm never using three mixing bowls again.
Here's what you do:
350F
greased 9x13
In large mixing bowl, heat 2.5 sticks of butter until just melted. Mix in 3/4 cup cocoa. Add 2 cups sugar. Add 4 eggs and 1tsp vanilla, mixing until smooth. Add 1 1/3 cups flour and sprinkle in 1 tsp each salt and baking powder. Mix until smooth (I recommend using a wooden spoon) then add chocolate chips or nuts. Bake 30 min.
Great idea! I hate cleaning my kitchen so I can cook something nice, only to have it trashed again with various bowls and pans.
ReplyDeleteNice! I never make these brownies, but if I did, I would definitely use this method. Awesome!!
