Mini eggless choco coffee brownies in a pressure cooker

Today i had this sudden urge of having something sweet and not so sweet at the same time.Now it kept me thinking what could i make that would be best of both worlds.Hence these mini eggless choco coffee brownies.I checked few recipes over YouTube and zeroed down to this recipe.The strong taste of coffee cuts the sweetness of the sugar to a certain extent.Now i am sure you have tasted brownies before and made them as well.But have you ever tasted chocolate and coffee brownies?If not then it's time to treat yourself with one.Now if you are a vegan then this recipe is apt for you.And if you are not still you could try these.They are gooey and melts in your mouth.Let's check the ingredients first.

Ingredients Serves-2


  • 3 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3rd cup of cooking/compound chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4th cup of butter/margarine
  • 1/4th cup of yogurt
  • 1/4th cup of plain all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of caster/powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of any strong coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp of water
  • 1 tsp of vanilla essence
  • 1/4th cup of hot water

Method

  1. Take a large bowl and sift flour,cocoa powder and baking powder.
  2. Take another large bowl add the butter(i used margarine) and whisk it till the colour of the butter turns pale from yellow.And it turns creamy.

  3. Add the powdered sugar into the bowl and whisk it again it it's mixed well and it's smooth.
  4. Add vanilla essence,coffee and half of the yogurt and mix it well.




  5. Pour half of the dry mixture of flour,cocoa powder and baking powder and mix it well.

  6. Add the rest of the yogurt and dry mixture and the hot water.Combine everything well.

  7. Take the chopped chocolates and dust a bit of flour.Mix it properly and drop them into the brownie mixture.The flour is mixed into the chopped chocolates in order to stop them from drowning into the mixture.
  8. Take a small cake (a square one is preferred.But i had a round one).Grease the tin with oil and dust it with flour to stop it from sticking.At the bottom place butter paper cut into the shape of the tin.
  9. Add the mixture into the tin and tap it on the kitchen counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
  10. Take a pressure cooker.Add a small container into it and on top of it add the cake tin so that it does not burn.Make sure the sides of the tin does not touch the cooker.Close the lid.Remove the rubber band and the whistle before doing so.

  11. Cook it for 30 minutes in low flame.You'll know it's done when u stick a toothpick inside it and it comes out clean.If your brownie appears like the one in the pic don't panic(like i did).It's alright.The crack's on the surface are nothing unusual.
  12. Take it out of the cooker and let it cool.(Don't try to take it out of the tin when it's warm.I couldn't hold the anticipation and i did so.It broke a bit.But thankfully i could rescue it)
  13. Once it cools down flip the cake tin over a tray or plate and take the brownie out.Remove the butter paper. (i was almost about to eat it with the butter paper on)(sorry forgot to click the picture.so couldn't post)
  14. Refrigerate it for a while inside the fridge(I didn't have that lot of patience)
  15. Take it out and cut it into small pieces.Garnish it as you like and Eat it up!:)
