Instructions

1.

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

2.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in both sugars until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.

3.

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

4.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture until just combined.

5.

Stir in the chopped dark chocolate.

6.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

7.

In a small bowl, mix black sesame paste, sugar, and hot water until smooth.

8.

Dollop spoonfuls of black sesame mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through the batter, creating a marbled effect.

9.

Bake for 28–32 minutes, until set at the edges but slightly fudgy in the center. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.

10.

Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Achten Sie darauf, die Brownies nicht zu lange zu backen; ein Zahnstocher sollte mit feuchten Krümeln herauskommen, damit die Mitte fudgy bleibt. Lassen Sie die Brownies vor dem Schneiden vollständig in der Form abkühlen, um saubere Kanten zu erhalten.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für einen anderen nussigen Geschmack können Sie die schwarze Sesampaste durch Mandelbutter ersetzen. Für zusätzliche Textur empfiehlt es sich, vor dem Backen geröstete Sesamsamen über den Teig zu streuen.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Brownies sind besonders köstlich, wenn sie mit einer Kugel klassischem Vanilleeis serviert werden, was einen wunderbaren Kontrast zum erdigen Sesam und der dunklen Schokolade bildet.
