Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

Since the recipe only calls for 5 Ingredients, it’s obvious all are important. Let’s go through each one of them. 

  • All-purpose flour – for the brownie to have some volume and structure, all-purpose flour is the best option. Since brownie is a delicate product, having flour helps them have some strength to hold the brownie structure. 
  • Baking powder – making sure the brownie has some cakey texture, baking powder is added to get that softness. 
  • Cocoa powder– we have used natural cocoa powder to provide a chocolatey flavor. Always use the best quality cocoa powder in any recipe. 
  • Nutella– naturally, when one thinks of hazelnut flavor, Nutella comes first in mind. To provide with the flavor as well as a fudgy texture, Nutella is a great ingredient. It also adds the sweetness we need for the brownies since we are not adding any sugar separately. 
  • Amul cream– cream provides all that richness you need in the brownie. Since it has fat and is a dairy product, it adds a lot of creaminess to the Brownies. 

How To Make 5 Ingredients Brownie 

Preparations: Collect all five ingredients with their correct quantities given in the recipe card below. Preheat the oven to 170C (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan). Also, grease and line a 7-inch square ring. 

Dry Ingredients: Sieve dry ingredients flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Give this a stir using a spatula. 

Wet Ingredients: Now add Nutella and fresh cream to the dry ingredients and mix to form a smooth batter. Make sure that there are no flour lumps left in the batter. 

Garnish: Transfer the batter into the prepared ring and spread it evenly. Add dollops of Nutella on it randomly and give a Swirl effect using a toothpick. Garnish it with some chopped hazelnuts. 

Bake: Put the brownie for baking at 170C (OTG mode: lower rod only) for 20-25 minutes. 

Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the brownie from the oven and let it cool down a little. Refrigerate it for a while and Demould the brownie once completely cooled. Cut into even squares to serve. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip For Baking

Remember not to under-bake or overbake the brownie. Underbaking would mean too gooey and raw taste in the brownie, while overbaking will have burnt edges or a burnt bottom. So ensure you bake for the appropriate recommended time, the brownies will have a cooked top and slightly soft center. 

How To Prep The Ring

If you are using a square ring, cling wrap it twice from one side and grease the inside edges with some oil. Place butter paper at the bottom, too. If you want to use a square tin, then grease it from the inside using oil and line it with butter paper by overhanging it from the edges so that you can simply lift it out for demoulding. 

Garnish

I have added chopped hazelnuts as Nutella is the prominent flavor of the brownie. You can go ahead with any other nit variation you want. Chopped almonds or walnuts can be a great addition. You can even add some chocolate chips if you like. 

How To Store Five Ingredients Brownie 

You can cling-wrap each piece and store the brownie in an air-tight box at room temperature (below 25C) for 3-4 days. Keeping it in the fridge can increase the shelf life to a week. 

You can freeze the Brownies and store up to a month if you want.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Why is there no butter or oil in the recipe? 

The recipe is made using minimal ingredients. The cream and Nutella have fat in them, which compensates for the fat needed in the recipe. Hence, we do not need extra fat for the brownies. 

What type of cream do we need for the brownies? 

We need cream which has at least 25% or more fat in it. Do not use any cream that has fat lower than this. 

How do you get perfect square brownie pieces? 

The key to getting perfect squares for your brownies is to be patient. Never cut warm brownies, as they are pretty fragile, and you will end up having many crumbs. A tip to get those nice, smooth squares is to freeze the brownies before demoulding and cutting. Freeze the brownies for 20-30 minutes and cut using a sharp knife.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
