Lightened with whipped egg whites and kissed with rose water, these brownies have everyone guessing about the secret ingredients. Adapted from Bon Appetit.
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 ounces milk chocolate
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 jumbo eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut, coarsely ground
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extra
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 2 tablespoons rum
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 jumbo egg whites
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
Melt chocolates and butter in microwave or over a double boiler, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Beat sugar and two eggs in a large bowl, until creamy. Blend in coconut, flour, yogurt, vanilla, rose water, rum and almond extract. Add chocolate and butter mixture and stir until well blended. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl to stiff peaks, but not dry. Gently fold into batter, a third at a time. Pour into prepared pan. Baked 30-40 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan.
