I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

One bowl chocolate brownie is a quick and easy way to satisfy a chocolate craving without much fuss. The recipe is usually very simple and quick so you can enjoy it any time of day to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Here’s a recipe for a single-serving chocolate brownie that can be made in a microwave:

Topping suggestions:

There are many delicious toppings that you can add to your chocolate brownie to make it even more decadent. Here are a few ideas:

  1. Whipped cream – A dollop of whipped cream on top of a warm chocolate brownie is a classic and delicious choice.
  2. Ice cream – Vanilla, chocolate, or any other flavor of ice cream would be a great addition to your chocolate brownie.
  3. Caramel sauce – Drizzle some warm caramel sauce over your brownie for a sweet and indulgent treat.
  4. Fresh fruit – Sliced strawberries, raspberries, or bananas would be a refreshing and healthy topping for your brownie.
  5. Chopped nuts – Walnuts, pecans, or almonds would add a nice crunch to your brownie.
  6. Chocolate ganache – Make a simple ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring it over chopped chocolate. Once it’s melted and smooth, pour it over your brownie.
  7. Peanut butter – Warm up some peanut butter and drizzle it over your brownie for a rich and nutty topping.

Choose your favorite topping or try a combination of them for a truly decadent dessert!

Presentation suggestions:

Presentation is important in making your chocolate brownie look as good as it tastes. Here are some simple suggestions to help you present your chocolate brownie in an appealing way:

  1. Serve your brownie warm or at room temperature on a small plate.
  2. Dust a little powdered sugar on top of the brownie before serving for a touch of elegance.
  3. Garnish the plate with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of fruit to add a pop of color and freshness.
  4. Serve your brownie with a scoop of ice cream on top or on the side.
  5. Use a cookie cutter to cut the brownie into a fun shape, like a heart or star, for special occasions.
  6. Drizzle your topping of choice over the brownie in a decorative pattern for an added visual appeal.

Remember, presentation doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy. Sometimes, the simplest touches can make a big impact. Have fun and experiment with different presentation ideas to find what works best for you!
