Fire Brownies x Dr. Will's Sriracha

Chocolate and spice is a flavour pairing that dates back thousands of years, and for good reason. Rich cocoa and warming chilli create a bold contrast that brings out the very best in both ingredients.

Bringing together the depth, complexity and intense chocolate flavour of our 100% Natural Cocoa Powder with the tangy, fermented sweetness of Dr. Will's All-Natural Sriracha Hot Sauce, these Fire Brownies deliver a truly unforgettable twist on a classic brownie recipe.

Rich, fudgy and intensely chocolatey, with a subtle chilli kick, these spicy chocolate brownies balance sweetness, bitterness and heat in every bite. Crafted with single-estate cocoa from our own farms in St Vincent, they're the perfect recipe for adventurous chocolate lovers looking for something a little different.

Ingredients

225g butter
225g Islands Chocolate 75% Dark Chocolate Buttons
4 tbsp Dr. Will's Sriracha Hot Sauce
A pinch of salt
4 large eggs
450g caster sugar
60g Islands Chocolate 100% Natural Cocoa Powder
190g plain flour

Method

1

Line a 20cm x 30cm baking tin with parchment. Feel free to use a different size tin, but factor in a change in cook time (reducing for larger tin, increasing for a smaller tin). Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2

Melt the butter and Islands 75% Dark Chocolate Buttons together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water (a bain-marie). Once melted, stir through the Sriracha and salt until smooth and glossy.
3

Sift together the flour and 100% Natural Cocoa Powder. Add in the salt, then mix well.
4

Combine the eggs and sugar in a bowl. Using a hand whisk, whisk this vigorously for around 30 seconds. If using a stand mixer, whisk for a maximum of 10 seconds. This will give the brownie a crackle top, but if you whisk too much you risk losing the fudgy texture of the brownie.
5

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs and lightly whisk to combine.
6

Add the dry ingredients to the mixture and fold through.
7

If using, now add the 55% Milk Chocolate & 37% White Chocolate buttons.
8

Pour the mixture into the cake tin and cook for 35 minutes.
9

Preferably, allow the brownie to cool completely before enjoying!

Tips

For a more pronounced chilli kick, drizzle a little extra Dr. Will's Sriracha over the brownies before serving. Alternatively, pair with vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche to balance the heat and enhance the deep chocolate flavour.
