Chocolate and wine are a classic combination made even better in this Zinfandel-Mexican Chocolate Brownie recipe from Titus Vineyards. The brownies have a Mexican twist with a hint of cinnamon and a crunchy bite with cranberries, almonds and chocolate chips - ooey, gooey, and delicious!
Zinfandel-Mexican Chocolate Brownies - ½ cup butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- ¼ cup Titus Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup toasted chopped almonds
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Cool and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and salt until foamy and pale. Gradually add the sugar and Zinfandel, beating till fluffy and well combined.
Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, fold the chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture using a few quick strokes until barely combined. Fold in the flour and cinnamon. When the mixture is barely combined, gently stir in the cranberries, almonds and chocolate chips. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes. Cool and cut. Serve with Titus Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel.
About Titus Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel
The aromas of our 2004 Napa Valley Zinfandel are bright and intense with notes of sugared rhubarb, red raspberry, cranberry preserves, coffee, and the barest traces of both chocolate and mineral. The rich flavors suggest dark cherry and black raspberry preserves wrapped around touches of pepper, bramble, smoked meat and American oak spice. This is a full bodied wine with a lengthy finish that will continue to evolve in bottle.
About Titus Vineyards Located among 40 acres of historic vineyard in Napa Valley along the Silverado Trail just north of St. Helena, Titus Vineyards is a 2nd generation, family-owned and farmed estate producing high quality grapes for limited production, ultra-premium Napa Valley wines. Our small, 6000 case portfolio includes hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon (our flagship wine), Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Lot I, our untraditional, heralded blend of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. Our wine style focuses on creating robust reds that complement the Titus brothers' down home, grass roots character. Year after year the wines show consistent, vibrant colors and vivacious flavors. The maverick flair of brothers Eric (grape grower) and Phillip Titus (winemaker) keeps our style and vision just a bit under the radar and off the main drag - a treat for those who discover us with friends, at a local wine shop or restaurant, or during a Napa Valley visit!
