These rich and fudgy brownies are elevated with a sprinkling of fresh, tart raspberries and a swirl of balsamic vinegar. The velvety dark chocolate harmonises well with the acidity of the balsamic vinegar reduction and the bright, juicy burst of raspberry. The ripe raspberries add a light, fruity taste to balance out the brownies. The fresh berries denote a sweet and sour flavour, an almost woody and floral taste. You may be doubtful of the balsamic vinegar, but I promise its subtle taste complements the brownies so well!

Tips

‍

Good Quality Balsamic Vinegar

‍

Select a good quality balsamic vinegar for this recipe since it’s a star ingredient. Making a reduction (or glaze) is so simple, so I recommend you buy the vinegar and follow my instructions to make the reduction rather than buying it ready-made.

‍

Fresh Berries

‍

Swap out the raspberries for strawberries! Both fruits pair so well with chocolate and with balsamic vinegar.
