Chocolate Brownie with Hazelnut Crumble

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt 0.5 cup butter and 6 oz dark chocolate together in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Stir until glossy.

Step 3

Whisk in 0.75 cup sugar and 2 eggs until well combined. The mixture should be thick and shiny.

Step 4

Fold in 0.5 cup flour until just combined; do not overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 5

Roughly chop 0.5 cup hazelnuts and sprinkle over the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then drizzle with 0.25 cup chocolate sauce. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
