RB2 Brownie

Forget everything you know about traditional chocolate brownies. This recipe, adapted from the work of Kent V. Madsen, utilizes the unique properties of Callebaut RB2 Ruby Chocolate to create a dessert that is as visually stunning as it is delicious. Unlike dark or milk chocolate, the RB2 Ruby chocolate offers a natural, intense fruitiness and fresh sour notes. This complex flavor profile is the backbone of this multi-layered dessert. We begin with a dense, fudgy Ruby Brownie base, enriched with real butter and vanilla, which provides a satisfying chew. This is layered with a crisp, buttery Sablé biscuit for texture, and crowned with a light-as-air Blackcurrant & Ruby Mousse (Crème Anglaise base). The final touch is a glossy, mirror-like RB2 Glaze that wraps the dessert in a vibrant sheen. The acidity of the blackcurrant and berry purée cuts perfectly through the richness of the chocolate and cream, creating a sophisticated balance of sweet and tart. Whether you are hosting an elegant dinner party or simply challenging your pastry skills, this RB2 Brownie is a true celebration of texture, color, and the "fourth type of chocolate.
