Overview

Well I could not decide between brownies or mini muffins and chocolate or chestnut. So eventually I decide to combine everything and create these deliciously addictive cakes, perfect for the autumn season. I have served them with mango sticks because I love mango and found it refreshing but you can really use any fruit. Whether you are a chocolate, chestnut or dessert addict or do not run after sweets you will like this recipe because it really combines it all. It is dairy, grain and refined sugar free (except the chestnut cream insert which contains 50% sugar, so if you are on a strict diet excluding refined sugar you can replace by sugar free chestnut purée which you can buy canned) and for a vegan version replace the regular eggs by flax eggs (2 TBSP roughly ground flax seeds with 2 TBSP water, mix well together 1 minute). This dessert will just make you very happy and remain healthy and easy to digest

Menu steps

1 Done	Pre-heat oven Pre-heat oven to hot air (fan) 180C
2 Done	Prepare chocolate Melt 50g dark chocolate and 4 TBSP coconut oil in the microwave (1 minute at 800W) or in a saucepan. Add 1 TBSP coconut milk and stir the mixture well
3 Done	Prepare eggs In a mixing bowl put 2 eggs and 2 TBSP maple syrup and whisk together for 2 minutes until homogenous. Add 3 TBSP almond powder, 2 TBSP almond flour and 1 pinch of salt. Mix well
4 Done	Prepare brownies Combine the chocolate and the egg mixtures, stir well and pour into silicon mini muffin moulds (it should make approx 6 brownies). With a teaspoon insert 1 tsp of chestnut cream in the middle of each brownie
5 Done	Bake brownies Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool in the moulds for 30 minutes and remove delicately from the moulds, using a spoon may be helpful to avoid breaking them
6 Done	Serve Slice 1 mango in 2 pieces from the pit. Cut each piece in half, remove the skin and cut each half in 3 sticks. Remove the remaining flesh from around the pit and cut with a knife into very small bits, if the mango is ripe enough it will be like a purée. press the juice of 1/2 lime on the mango sticks and the purée. Using a spoon, display on each plate a bit of mango purée, put a brownie on top and place mango sicks around. Serve immediately (otherwise the mango will become brown)
