These dirty brownies are the ultimate indulgence. What’s dirty about these brownies we hear you ask? Firstly they are pure unadulterated filth, in the best possible way. Chocolate biscuit base with a brownie top, chocolate overload. Secondly, your van kitchen may be a bit dirty after measuring and baking these beauts, but it is totally worth it.

Equipment

  • Fridge

Ingredients
  

For the biscuit layer

  • 115 g Unsalted butter
  • 125 g Light brown sugar
  • 1 Medium egg
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 225 g Plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 150 g Milk chocolate chips
  • 1 pack Oreos

For the brownie layer

  • 100 g Unsalted butter
  • 100 g Dark chocolate
  • 2 Medium eggs
  • 140 g Caster sugar
  • 50 g Plain flour
  • 25 g Cocoa powder
  • 150 g Milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

For the biscuit layer

  • Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  • Slowly add the flour, bicarbonate, cornflour, salt and cornflour. Beat until a cookie dough forms.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and press the mixture into a lined baking tray. Freeze (or chill) for at least 20 minutes.
  • After chilling, cover the biscuit layer with oreos (a sawing motion with a knife helps to cut them in half)
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/ Gas Mark 4.

For the brownie layer

  • Slowly melt your butter and dark chocolate together.
  • Whisk together the eggs and sugar into a thick mousse like mixture. Then fold in the chocolate mix.
  • Add in the flour and cocoa powder.
  • Carefully add the chocolate chips into the mixture, then pour over the oreo layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until there is only a slight wobble in the middle when moving the tray.
  • Cool before cutting up (I put mine in the fridge to help them firm up first).
