Equipment

2 Bowl
Baking tray or oven dish

Ingredients

70 g Unsalted butter
70 g Coconut oil
170 g Plain flour
5 Chocolate cream eggs frozen
3 tablespoon Cocoa powder
2 Eggs
100 g Cane sugar
60 g Dark chocolate
1 tablespoon Lemon zest optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180C/360F. Then, melt unsalted butter in the microwave and set aside for later. Microwave dark chocolate in a separate bowl for 30-second intervals and stir in between until it melts. Combine melted unsalted butter, chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and stir.
Grab another bowl and add flour and lemon zest (optional). Then, stir the dry ingredients until everything is well combined.
Beat eggs and sugar using a whisk or a stand mixer until it has a thick consistency. Once you have mixed the eggs and sugar pour the chocolate mixture into it and stir.
Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until you get a smooth, thick brownie dough. Line a baking dish with baking paper and pour the dough into it. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the chocolate eggs from the freezer and slice them into halves. Do this gently to prevent them from crumbling. Then remove the brownies from the oven and press each half firmly into the brownie filling side up. Bake the brownies for another ten 10 minutes.
Remove the brownies from the oven and leave them to cool completely. Serve as dessert or a snack.

Notes

Creme eggs: Do not add the creme eggs at the beginning of baking as they will sink to the bottom of the dish and the creme eggs will lose their shape.
Brownie texture: If you prefer brownies well-baked brownies then bake them for longer before adding the creme eggs. 25-30 minutes is a good amount of time. Make sure you mix the brownie batter gently to avoid a tough and chewy brownie.
