  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 8X8 baking pan with aluminium foil. Make sure to let the foil extend outside, so that it will be easier to pull out the brownie when ready. Slightly grease the pan.

  • Transfer the batter to the baking pan. Tap the pan to let the batter spread evenly. Bake for about 20 - 22 mins. Test by inserting a toothpick in the middle and it should come out clean. Pull out the brownie from the oven and leave it to cool completely.

Notes | FAQ

- Do not over beat the brownie batter. The brownie will turn out hard.
- Do not over bake the brownie. The brownie should be a little bit chewy and not dry.
- Do not over whip the cream. It will turn into butter.
- Keep the bowl used for whipping the cream and the beater in the freezer for 15 mins, before whipping. It helps to get good whipped cream.
- The yogurt should be thick and fresh. Sour yogurt will spoil the flavor of the whipped cream.
- Flax seed meal + water is a substitute for eggs. In case not vegetarian, you can replace with 2 medium sized eggs.
