Ingredients

Servings: 25

7-10 Tbsp some + 250 g butter
200 g Flour
50 g Baking cocoa
1 TEASPOON Baking Powder
300 g Dark chocolate
4 Eggs (Gr. M)
250 g demerara sugar
7-10 Tbsp Salt
120 ml fresh hot espresso
100 g + 200 g sugar
3 bananas, 2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 very fresh protein (Gr. M)
7-10 Tbsp Salt

Directions

1
Grease a square springform pan (24 x 24 cm). Mix flour, cocoa and baking powder. Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer).
2
For the dough, melt 250 g butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Break the chocolate into pieces, add and melt in the warm butter while stirring.
3
Beat the eggs, sugar and 1 pinch of salt in a large bowl with the whisk of the mixer for approx. 5 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir in the warm chocolate-butter mixture immediately. Stir in the flour mixture only briefly.
4
Fill the dough into the mould and smooth it down. Bake in a hot oven for about 30 minutes. The brownie should not be completely baked through, so there are still traces of dough on the wooden skewer when you make a stick test.
5
Take out and let it cool down on a cake rack. Immediately sprinkle with half the espresso. Let it cool down.
6
For the espresso syrup, caramelise 100 g sugar. Deglaze with the rest of the espresso and 100 ml water. Boil until the caramel dissolves. Leave to cool.
7
Peel and slice the bananas and sprinkle with lemon juice. Spread on the brownie. Beat the egg whites and 1 pinch of salt until stiff, sprinkle 200 g of sugar. Spread meringue on the bananas.
8
Chill for about 1 hour. Meringue with a kitchen gas burner briefly burn off. Carefully cut into pieces with a moistened knife. Serve with espresso syrup.
