Ingredients

  • Brownie
  • ½ cup of AOOC Extra Virgin Olive Oil (we recommend a mild oil)

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup all purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened high quality cocoa powder

  • ¼ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

  • Ganache
  • 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 Tbsp AOOC Tangerine Balsamic

  • 2” long strip of tangerine zest

  • a pinch of kosher salt- optional

Directions

  • Brownies
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir into the egg mixture until well blended. Stir in walnuts, if desired.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the brownie begins to pull away from edges or pan. Let cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
  • Ganache
  • Place the chocolate into a medium bowl.Heat the cream, salt, and tangerine zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. (Bring just to a bare simmer, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot and scorch.)
  • When the cream has come to a simmer, remove the zest, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the Tangerine Balsamic.
  • Allow the ganache to cool, looking for a spreadable consistency before frosting the brownies. Start at the center of the brownies and work outward.
