Brownie with nuts
6 servings
120 minutes
Brownies with nuts are a classic dessert of American cuisine, known for their rich chocolate flavor and soft, slightly chewy texture. The history of brownies dates back to the late 19th century when they were first made as an alternative to traditional cake. This recipe uses a combination of dark chocolate, butter, and nuts, giving the baked good a rich taste and aroma. The nuts add a crunchy texture that contrasts with the softness of the batter. Brownies are perfect for cozy evenings with a cup of coffee or as a festive treat. To achieve the ideal consistency, it's important to let the dessert chill in the refrigerator—this gives it density and deepens its flavor. They are served in portions as small squares and can be complemented with ice cream or berries.

When the brownies are ready, it's best to send them to the fridge for 8-12 hours. This way they will be even tastier and won't crumble much.
