Rich, decadent and oh-so chocolatey brownies filled with orange zest and chunks of Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
We’re kicking off the festive season with a delicious new brownie recipe. This brownie is filled with one of the best chocolates around: Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
It’s not Christmas in our household without at least one Terry’s Chocolate Orange opened and very quickly consumed over the festive period! This is the one chocolate I associate with Christmastime, even though it’s available year round. I’m lucky to have worked with Terry’s Chocolate Orange on my Instagram page. I’m definitely one of their biggest fans!
It wouldn’t be Christmas on the blog without incorporating Terry’s Chocolate Orange in a bake! My viral Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cheesecake still remains one of my most viewed/popular recipes.
I made these brownies to kick off the Christmas 2024 recipes on WJBN. I had friends coming over, so I baked these and sent my friends and a few family members home with a container of the brownies. Which definitely helped out, because I wouldn’t have resisted eating several of these brownies while they sat on the kitchen countertop!
Also, an amazing idea you can do is heat the brownies up in the microwave – it produces a gooey chocolate fondant-style pudding.
Warm chocolate orange brownie + ice cream = chef’s kiss!
I baked a vegan version of this brownie recipe I’m sharing today, a few years ago when I was vegan. So, if you’re vegan, you won’t miss out with these Vegan Chocolate Orange Brownies.
We’re packing SO much orange flavour into these brownies with the addition of orange zest in the brownie batter, along with a whole TCO chopped up and folded through.
Adding orange to brownies just makes brownies 100x better in my opinion. Feel free to add more chopped Terry’s Chocolate Orange to your brownie batter if you like even more chocolate chunks in your brownie.
Enjoy and happy baking!
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Brownies
Servings 16
- 200 g butter (salted or unsalted)
- 200 g dark chocolate
- Zest from one large orange
- 270 g caster or granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 115 g plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 154g Terry’s Chocolate Orange roughly chopped
-
Preheat oven to 160°C / 140°C Fan / 325°F / Gas Mark 4. Line a 20cm square tin with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate over a bain-marie or in the microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Set this mixture aside and leave it to cool for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile beat the eggs and egg yolks together until combined. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add the egg mixture and stir to combine.
-
In large mixing bowl, using your fingertips rub ,the sugar and orange zest together until fragrant. Sift flour and the cocoa powder over the top and mix until thoroughly combined and no lumps of flour remain. Now add the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Finally, fold through the chopped Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Try not to over mix otherwise this may result in your baked brownies being tough. Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake the brownies for 40-45 minutes, they’ll be ready when they’re risen, the top has started to slightly crack and a cake tester when inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
-
Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin, then once cooled leave them to set for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. When ready to serve, slice the brownies into 16 squares. Brownies will store in an airtight container for up to a fortnight.
Get ready for Christmas with these delicious recipes!
