Delicious Dessert

Having a house full of visitors, I decided to try out a couple of new recipes I found on the web and created a fancy dessert of Chocolate Brownie and Feijoa Sorbet.

The Sorbet was so easy to make, but it does take a while to set.  Firstly bring to the boil 1 Cup of water and 1 Cup of sugar and boil for about 5 minutes until all the sugar is well dissolved.  Then mix in 2 cups of Feijoa and the juice of 1 lemon.  I used my stick blender to puree it all up, then it goes in the freezer.  Every couple of hours give it a mix then when it is frozen ( I left it over night) put it in the food processor and whizz it up.  Then it goes back in the freezer until hard and then whizz it up again.  It has the texture of ice cream and tasted fantastic.

The Brownie recipe was also really easy

2 Cups Apple puree
1/2 C cocoa
1 1/2 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
11/2 C sugar
1/2 C choc chips

Gently mix the sifted dry ingredients into the apple puree, then fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Bake 150C Fan Bake for 20-25 minutes. ( I turned the oven off after 20 mins and left it in for 5 mins)

Everyone thought the dessert was fantastic and the flavours really complemented each other.  You couldnt tell it was egg and dairy free.  The brownie was moist and chocolatey
