About this dish

Black sesame paste is stirred into a dark chocolate batter for these dense, fudgy brownies, and its nutty flavor stays on well after the chocolate.

The paste goes in only once the eggs are fully mixed, so it spreads through the batter instead of clumping in one spot.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a 20cm square pan with parchment paper.
2

Combine 140g dark chocolate and 90g unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.

Stir until completely melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
3

Stir 110g sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, then add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each.

The batter should look glossy and smooth.
4

Add 35g black sesame paste and stir with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter, giving the mixture a uniform nutty depth.
5

Sift together 65g flour, 20g cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the batter, then fold gently with a spatula until the flour just disappears.
6

Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 175°C for 26 to 28 minutes.

The center can still look slightly moist when removed. As it cools it firms into a dense, fudgy texture. Slice only after completely cooled for clean edges.
