Brownie is a dense chocolate based baked dessert. It is one of the most popular and loved desserts, and for a good reason. They are easy to make and delicious to eat. Brownies come in different forms, they may be fudgy or cakey, and they may or may not include nuts.
If you want to try a simple yet delicious dessert, you can make this easy-to-make dry fruit and chocolate brownie recipe by Chef Alex Dias, the Executive Chef at Club Mahindra resorts in Goa.
The first-known printed use of the word ‘brownie’ to describe a dessert appeared in 1896 in a Boston Cooking School cookbook written by Fannie Farmer. However, the original dish, which was called Farmer’s Brownie, did not contain chocolate. The chefs at the Palmer Hotel in Chicago who participated in the World Columbian Exposition were asked to create an all-new baked good recipe that could be easily picked up and eaten without a fork and thus came into existence the Brownie.
