Life is a whirlwind of responsibilities, routines, and the constant buzz of everyday life. Amidst our daily obligations, we often find ourselves yearning for a brief respite, a moment to escape the monotony and embrace a little “me time”.
This recipe, the Chocolate Raspberry Brownie, is more than just a culinary delight—it’s a symbol of self-indulgence, a reminder that amidst our busy lives, we deserve to savour the simple pleasures and make time for the things that truly nourish our souls.
The Chocolate Raspberry Brownie, a creation of the culinary genius Lindy Zolnierczak, graces the pages of FIGS & FETA Magazine Issue 13 (see page 53). The recipe that follows is a testament to the notion that, even with our daily whirlwind, we can craft moments of indulgence and joy, both for ourselves and those we hold dear.

Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1250 gram Unsalted Butter
- 250 gram Caster Sugar
- 200 gram Dark Cooking Chocolate (Chopped)
- 90 gram Dutch Cocoa Powder
- 60 gram Plain Flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 4 pcs Free-range Eggs
- ¾ cup Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C, while you prepare to hop on a journey of culinary delight.
- Line a 23cm-square tin with non-stick baking paper, creating a canvas for your creation.
- In a large, heavy-based saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, the silent conductor of this symphony of flavours. Gradually add the caster sugar, and with each stir, feel the weight of your daily responsibilities slowly dissolve into the mixture.
- Next, introduce the dark cooking chocolate into the equation, allowing its deep, bittersweet essence to meld with the butter and sugar. As the chocolate dissolves and integrates with the other ingredients, you'll notice a transformation, much like the moments when you allow yourself to step away from the hustle and bustle of life.
- As you patiently wait for this amalgamation to cool, take a moment to reflect on the importance of balance. Just as in life, where we juggle multiple responsibilities, the art of creating this delectable brownie relies on the harmony of different elements.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift the Dutch cocoa, plain flour, and baking powder, adding a touch of salt to enhance the complexity of flavours. This step parallels the layers of our daily routines, each contributing to the whole.
- Once the butter and chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, introduce the flour blend, and as you stir, imagine the moments when the chaos of your life finds order and purpose.
- Adding eggs, one at a time, may initially appear as if the mixture is fragmenting. However, just as you integrate life's diverse experiences, the mixture will eventually come together, each element contributing to the rich tapestry of flavours.
- Pour this harmonious batter into the lined tin, a symbol of the canvas of life. Then, gently arrange the raspberries on top, like cherished moments, waiting to be embraced and savoured.
- Slide the tin into the oven and allow it to bake for 25 minutes. As it bakes, contemplate that life, like this brownie, should have a slightly wobbly consistency, reminding us that perfection is overrated and that embracing imperfections can be truly beautiful.
- Once the brownie has achieved its desired state, let it cool in the pan, reminiscent of the times we need to allow life to settle and find its rhythm.
- Finally, when the brownie is ready to be shared, dust it with cocoa or icing sugar, a reminder that life's beauty often lies in the sweet moments of indulgence.
