Lesley's Valentine Brownies with Raspberry Coulis

7 Reviews

“Best if slightly undercooked but not quite runny in the center - what the English call 'squidgy'. The raspberry coulis adds a Valentine's Day note. The raspberry juice called for in this recipe should be taken from the leftover juice from the frozen raspberries. ” - by lcpgh

"Okay, I didn't make the brownies, but I have used the sauce as a topping for chocolate mousse. Once the raspberries were melted, I added 1/4 c. sugar and stirred until dissolved.

Since I was cooking for 32 peopl..." See moree, I baked the brownies in a jelly roll pan. First I cut them diagonally then end to end to create a diamond shape.
