First time tasting these rich, dark shade cake-like fudgy brownies from The Brownie Xperiment @thebrowniexperiment . Was super excited to try these brownies because of the sea of postings I’ve seen on Blackout Brownies across IG. I first saw these dark-looking brownies from The Backyard Bakers’s page during the beginning of MCO and cried a little on the inside when the Geotag brought me to Singapore *Sigh* If you search for this popular bakery on Google today, oh wow - you will see a flood of search results consisting of the keyword “Brownie” :P
These so-called Blackout Brownies from both TBB & The Brownie Xperiment differ from the usual brownies you see in most bakeries outside because of their rounded corners (all thanks to the Brownie Pan) as well as the deep & dark hue. Not kidding but the stream of photos on IG has made me realise how such gorgeous looking brownies could actually exist. As a chocoholic, this was love at first sight! They say that the darker the hue of the cocoa, the more satisfying the chocolate flavor will be. This is very true indeed.
Pre-MCO, there weren’t many bakers here in KV baking these sort of decadent dark brownies, I am quite sure we have it here but I was not able to locate any good ones. And then there came The Brownie Xperiment, wohoo yaaassss! :( You may be wondering why are these brownies so dark-looking - Just so you know the dark hue & rich-looking chocolate in these brownies come mainly from the Black cocoa which is extra Dutch. They are extra dark, decadent, rich and super addictive! These brownies from The Brownie Xperiment had a more ‘moist’ and cakey texture- it was intensely fudge-like and the richness of the chocolate was just impeccable. Genuinely think these brownies from TBX are really good! They have a variety of flavours available as pictured above! It’s too difficult to describe every flavour I’ve had but the memorable ones we’ve had were the:
-French Sea Salt Dark Choc Brownies
-Lotus Biscoff Brownies
-Ovomaltine Brownies
-Kinako Mochi Brownies
-The Original Durian Brownies
-Chewy Salted Caramel Brownies
& the list goes on……
Honestly we are also in favour of the other flavours because it’s just so rich! 🥳
