Lavender Brownie: Fudgy Chocolate with a Whisper of Lavender
Save
Chocolate and lavender walk into a bakery. Everybody wins. Our Lavender Brownie is fudgy, rich chocolate with a subtle floral hint of lavender that makes each bite feel a little special. It is baked fresh in small batches and sold one brownie at a time, which is either restraint or an invitation, depending on who is asking.
Why lavender and chocolate work
Dark chocolate has a slightly bitter, roasted edge, and lavender's floral sweetness softens it. In this brownie the lavender stays in the background, so it tastes like a very good chocolate brownie first. Most people notice the lavender a beat later, as a gentle finish.
How to serve it
- With coffee: a brownie and a cup of lavender coffee is our idea of a proper afternoon break.
- Warm with ice cream: a few seconds in the microwave and a scoop of vanilla turn it into a plated dessert.
- Affogato style: pour hot espresso or strong coffee over the brownie and ice cream. Our Lavender Brownie Affogato shows how.
- With cold milk: the classic, for good reason.
Party and dessert ideas
Cut brownies into bite-size pieces for a hot chocolate bar, like our Snowy Night Lavender Hot Chocolate Bar, or sandwich a piece with a toasted marshmallow for Campfire Lavender Cookie and Brownie S'mores.
Keeping it fresh
A fresh-baked brownie is at its best within the first few days. Keep it wrapped or in an airtight container at room temperature, away from heat and sun. To hold it longer, wrap it well and freeze it, then thaw at room temperature. A quick warm-up brings back that just-baked fudginess.
Want a whole pan?
If one brownie is not going to cut it, our Lavender Fudge Brownie Mix bakes a full pan at home with the same chocolate-and-lavender idea. Browse more desserts in our lavender recipes.
