Chocozin

I first learned to bake from a friend my freshman year of college. She taught me how to cook by making me follow recipes exactly then showed me the art of tweaking them to make them better. Today I found out she's getting engaged, and although she's broken my heart time and time I'd like to share one of my favorite recipe from her mother.

Chocozin

A wonderfully fluffy brownie squares from Isreal

1 cup butter
1 cup bitter chocolate
6 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp unsweetened coco powder
1/2 cup walnut

1. Cream butter with 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in 6 yolks and melted chocolate until smooth, and set half the mixture aside.

2. Mix 1 tbsp of flour and coco powder to half the mixture. Then add the walnuts.

3. Make a meringue with 6 egg whites and 1/2 cup of sugar. If the mixture is not stiff enough add more sugar. Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture w/ flour, coco powder and nuts.

4. Place in 9x13 baking pan and bake at 375F for 30 minutes.

5. When the knife comes out clean let it cool, then use the other half of the butter, sugar, melted chocolate mixture that's been set aside to frost the brownie.

6. Serve with a generous spoonful of whipped cream.
