FAQ (Questions and Answers)
How to make soft and fudgy orange brownies?
To achieve soft and moist brownies, it is important not to overbake them: 25 minutes at 356°F is sufficient. Also, use good quality dark chocolate and do not overbeat the eggs to maintain a dense and fudgy texture.
Can I substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate?
Yes, but the result will be sweeter and less intense. In this case, slightly reduce the amount of sugar to balance the flavor.
How to store orange brownies?
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them for up to 5 days or freeze them for about a month.
Can I add other ingredients to the orange brownies?
Of course! You can enrich the batter with chocolate chips, walnuts, almonds, or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the orange aroma.
