These schokoladenschnitten (German brownies) may just become a new favorite. Rich, fudgy, and topped with an easy frosting, they get their German flair from a splash of almond extract ... my little nod to marzipan love!
And if you’re after a vegan version, scroll down to the bottom of the page where I’ve tucked one in. Even non-vegans can’t resist it!
Which will you like best? Why not try both and choose.
There's only one difficult part in making brownies (and not that difficult) and that's the baking.
They need to
be removed from the oven when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes
out still moist, but not wet with batter.
If you over-bake them, they'll still taste good.
They just won't have that lovely moist texture. They would make great "dunkers" though if you keep them un-iced. (Dunk into a lovely cup of hot coffee.)
You may wonder why these recipes are included on my German recipe site because they are not traditional German recipes.
It's because I love these, 'cause they taste so good!
You may just find either of these is among the best chocolate recipes there are!
This easy brownie recipe may just become one of your favorites. It's quick and has an easy frosting recipe.
The German twist? Almond flavoring! And that turns them into Schokoladenschnitten.
