Looking for a recipe from Food & Wine for Mexican Chocolate Brownies?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Food Recipe


I've lost my copy. This recipe used piloncillo while most recipes I've found online use brown sugar. This would have appeared in an issue from probably 2000-2001. I have tried searching the foodandwine.com database without success.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

1 c. cocoa
3/4 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. granulated sugar
7 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cocoa with butter, stirring until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Stir in cocoa mixture. Blend in eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and pepper. Pour into lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until center is set. Makes about 24 brownies.

    Mexican chocolate brownies

    * 1/2 c pinenuts
    * 4 oz (3/4 c, packed) piloncillo or panocha sugar, which has been pounded or grated; brown sugar is a fine substitute
    * 1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter
    * 2 tablets (rounds) Mexican chocolate, coarsely chopped; i'd recommend Ibarra brand
    * 1 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
    * 2 eggs
    * 1 tsp vanilla
    * 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    * 1 c flour
    * whipped cream and cinnamon sticks for garnishing

    1. Roast the pinenuts, about 8 – 10 min at 350 F.
    2. Combine sugar, butter and both chocolates in a pot or in a double boiler. Melt over low heat.
    3. Stir till smooth, then remove from heat. Cool about 5 minutes, before mixing in the eggs, vanilla and cinnamon.
    4. Mix in the flour and pinenuts.
    5. Pour batter into a lightely greased pan (9 inch square works fine, or a 10 in round one).
    6. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven, for 20 – 25 minutes.
    7. Cool, slice/remove from pan. Serve with garnishes, if desired
