Instructions

Pre heat oven to 160°Celsius.
Grease and line a 6 inches square cake tin with parchment paper. Set aside.
Measure butter into a small pot or saucepan. Melt it over low heat until it has melted completely.
Add the chopped white chocolate melt it in the hot butter over very low heat. Stir to expedite the melting and make sure the chocolate does not burn. Remove from heat as soon as the chocolate has melted.
Measure granulated sugar into a separate bowl.
Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the sugar and whisk by hand for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Next, add the egg. If the butter and sugar mixture is hot, let is cool down first before adding the egg.
Whisk in the egg until it is well incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine the flour, salt and ube powder in a separate bowl. Stir lightly to mix.
Sift in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in 2 or 3 batches. Fold the flour only until it is well combined. Do not overmix.
Next, add the ube extract and mix again until well combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the ube brownie batter into the prepared tin. Level the top.
Sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips. Use a skewer or toothpick to push some of the chocolate chips into the batter.
Bake the brownies for 20 minutes.
Remove the tin from the oven and let the brownie rest in the tin for about 5 to 10 minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the brownie block in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool further before cutting for neater pieces.

Notes

To prevent dry and cake-like ube brownies, it is important not to over bake them. Follow the baking time and temperature recommended in the recipe to achieve the best results.

About 5 minutes before the suggested baking time ends, check the brownie by inserting a toothpick in the center. If the toothpick comes out clean without any wet batter, the brownie is ready and can be taken out of the oven.
