Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

Chocolate batter

• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 80 g butter
• 120 g flour
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp baking powder

Cottage cheese layer

• 600 g cottage cheese
• 100 g sugar
• 100 ml cream, 20%
• 35 g fresh mint
• 3 tbsp cornstarch

Glaze

• 1/3 cup milk
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 75 g butter

Method

 

Chocolate batter

1. Melt the butter with the cocoa and let cool.
2. Beat the eggs with the salt and sugar with a mixer into a light foam. Add the chocolate mixture and beat again.
3. Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter, beat until smooth, and pour into the baking pan.

Cottage cheese layer

1. Mash the cottage cheese with the cream and sugar using a fork.
2. Add the cornstarch and the blitzed mint - both its juice and a bit of the pulp. Add food coloring if you'd like a brighter color. Mix and pour over the chocolate batter.

Baking and glaze

1. Bake the brownie in a preheated 180-190°C oven for 40-45 minutes. Remove and let cool.
2. Make the glaze from the sugar, milk, and cocoa, then stir in the butter. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
   
3. Leave the brownie in the fridge overnight - then you can enjoy it. Enjoy!

Notes

After a night in the fridge, the layers settle and the brownie slices into neat pieces.

Tips

• Color of the mint layer: for a brighter shade you can add food coloring - but that's optional, it won't change the flavor.
• Resting in the fridge: it's best to leave the brownie in the fridge overnight - the layers settle, and the cake slices into neat pieces.
