Step 1

Start by whisking eggs in a medium-sized bowl until they are nice and frothy. Gradually add caster sugar, whisking all the while. Once all the sugar is added, whisk for another minute, then pour in melted butter, whisking constantly. Add vanilla extract and whisk again before sifting in flour and cocoa powder. Fold over with a spatula and continue to do so until all the ingredients have combined, resulting in a smooth-looking batter.

Step 2

Line an 8-inch square tin with parchment paper and pour in the brownie batter. Use a spatula to smooth out the top and fill in the corners, making everything level. Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for about 18 to 20 minutes. When a skewer can be inserted and removed with a few gooey bits on it, your brownies will be finished. Leave to cool while you make the ganache.

Step 3

For this step, use your microwave to slowly melt white chocolate. The method I used was to microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each one until the chocolate was melted and smooth.

Step 4

Next, using a food processor, blitz blackberries and pass through a fine strainer until you have blackberry purée. Combine the blackberry purée with heavy whipping cream and mix well before warming it up in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Combine the cream and purée mixture with your already-melted white chocolate and stir until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the ganache onto the top of the cooled brownies in the tin, covering every inch of the surface area. Place in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the ganache to set. Once set, pull the brownies out of the tin using the excess edges of parchment paper and dress it up however you like before biting into its gooey goodness.
