Ingredients

125g unsalted butter, chopped

180g dark chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup caster sugar

3 free-range eggs, beaten lightly

1 cup plain flour

1/4 cup self-raising flour

100g white chocolate, chopped coarsely

100g milk chocolate, chopped coarsely

Cocoa, double cream, to serve

Method

Step 1

Grease and line a 20cm square baking pan with baking paper (ensure your pan fits in your air fryer). Trim any excess baking paper (as this may catch in the air fryer).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine butter and dark chocolate over low heat. Cook, stirring, until chocolate
is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and leave to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).

Step 3

Stir in sugar, then eggs, followed by flours. Fold in white and milk chocolate. Transfer batter to pan.

Step 4

Air-fry at 160°C for 20 minutes, until a skewer comes out of the middle with moist crumbs clinging. Let brownies cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a board and cut into 12 pieces.

Step 5

Dust with cocoa and serve with double cream.
