Recipe Description
Brownies can taste loads better than they look. Serve them with creme fraiche whipped with a bit of orange zest or simple self-whipped cream or ice-cream of your favourite complementary flavour. The next day, as a special touch — if there’s any left! — warm slices of brownies for 12-15 seconds on low power in the microwave before serving.
