These chewy chocolate blueberry wine brownies are the delicious dessert you never knew you needed! Atlantic Canada produces a ton of blueberries that wineries turn into a divine glass of libation.
Ingredients
2/3 cup butter or margarine
5 ozs unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into pieces
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 tsps vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup blueberry wine
1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottle and sides of a 9-inch square pan.
In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.
In medium bowl, beat sugar, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture on low speed. Beat in flour just until blended. Stir in walnuts and wine, then spread in pan.
Bake 40-45 minutes or just until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of pan. Cool completely in pan and then top with powdered sugar to create a delicious glaze.
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: When blueberries are in season, add a handful of fruit to the mixture…it will enhance the wine flavour. Change up the fruit wine and add other seasonal fruit – a different flavour every time!
