Double chocolate brownie with lemon curd. This redefines brownie for me, lifting an ordinary kids' favorite into the stratosphere.
I had some leftover lemon curd from a pie I made f0r Justin and Claui's birthday dinner. (Pie crust with chocolate chips melted in it during last minutes of baking, filled with lemon curd, and topped with whipped cream--a family favorite.)Lemon curd, or lemon cheese as the recipe (Southern Junior League Cookbook) below calls it, is easy to make.
As are these brownies.
I used the simple recipe I've used for almost fifty years and added a handful of chocolate chips because why not. I put half or a little more in the greased pan then spread that leftover lemon curd (you won't need the full recipe) on top, covered it with the rest of the brownie mixture and baked as usual.
This is incredibly rich and cries out for an accompaniment of black coffee. I'll be making this again.
