Cornish Sea Salted Caramel Brownies

If you like sweet and salt together you’ll love these Cornish sea salted caramel brownies. They’re easy to make and deliciously fudgy to eat.

Salted caramel and brownies are two of my favourite things. So what could be better than combining them both? Not much as it turns out. Read on to find out how to make this divine recipe.

Two splendid Cornish products came into play when I created these Cornish sea salted caramel brownies. They were, in large part, responsible for these delectable treats. I muscled in on a Twitter conversation between Cornish Sea Salt and Rodda’s just when they were showing off pictures of sea salted brownies. Well that was it, I had to make some. So I did, although it was a few weeks ago now.

When it came to it, I pretty much used the same recipe as I did for the Marmite Caramel Brownies I came up with last year. But the method was different and obviously I didn’t use Marmite. I wanted to make a brownie batter using a rich dark chocolate so as to make a good foil for the sweet salted caramel. Rather than sandwiching the caramel as I’d done previously, I decided to swirl it through the batter.

There’s no way to describe these brownies other than sublime. The caramel, which has honey notes, is perfectly salted. It creates a squidgy interior to the brownie with a chewy toffee crust. Despite their deliciousness, CT and I weren’t able to eat them all at one sitting. So they lasted us over the next few days. By day two, they’d taken on the consistency of fudge. Hooray, two for the price of one. My oh my!

I served these Cornish sea salted caramel brownies with Rodda’s clotted cream custard. It happened to go perfectly, both when the brownies were warm and when they were cold. Despite the rugged terrain and unpredictable weather, we’re quite a decadent lot in Cornwall.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp Cornish sea salt
• 90 g caster sugar
• 200 ml double cream (heavy cream)
• 100 g unsalted butter
• 150 g dark chocolate (I used 85%)
• 200 g dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs (I used duck eggs)
• 95 g self-raising flour (self-rising flour)
• 1 tsp cocoa powder

Metric – US Customary

Instructions

Salted Caramel

• Melt the honey and salt in a pan over a medium heat, then slowly add the sugar and leave for a few minutes to melt and lightly caramelise.
• Heat the cream in another pan to just about boiling.
• When the sugar has reached a golden caramel colour, add the cream, standing well back in case of spitting. Stir vigourously and continue to cook for a few minutes until the caramel is thick and golden but still liquid. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

Brownies

• Melt the butter and chocolate in a large pan over low heat.
• Remove from the heat, add the sugar and stir. Beat in the eggs one by one, then sift in the dry ingredients.
• Stir until just combined, then pour the mixture into a 20 cm square mould (line as appropriate).
• Spoon the cooled caramel over the top, then swirl the mixture around to create a ripple effect – it will look very liquid at this point, but don’t worry.
• Bake at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for 25 minutes until well risen with only a slight wobble. Scatter a large pinch of Cornish sea salt flakes over the top.
