Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Grease a 20cm square baking tin with butter and line with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a digital thermometer to ensure accurate temperature reading.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the praline syrup, brown sugar, and 50g of water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
Tip: Don’t stir too much, as this can cause the sugar to crystallize.
- 3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly.
Tip: Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature; it should reach 115°C (239ºfF).
- 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the praline pieces until they are well coated.
Tip: Let the praline syrup cool slightly, as it will thicken further when cooled.
- 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.
- 6
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, and praline syrup until well combined.
Tip: Don’t overbeat the mixture, as this can result in a dense brownie.
- 7
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are combined; overmixing can lead to a dense brownie.
- 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top.
Tip: Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even surface.
- 9
Bake the brownies for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Tip: Don’t overbake the brownies; they will set as they cool.
- 10
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
Tip: Use a clean, sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares or rectangles.
- 11
Transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: Serve the brownies at room temperature, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This is my absolute favourite tart to make when mangoes are at their peak.
