Brownies are a delectable treat to tuck in to, but they can go wrong if you don’t follow the instructions. If you have enough patience, there’s a viral recipe which takes four days to complete - but people claim it’s worth it. Originally created by TV personality Alvin Zhou back in 2020, TikTok star Elise Brulotte, also known as @eliseseats, decided to test out the recipe for herself.
While the preparation takes no time at all, you’ll need a lot of patience to leave the brownies in the fridge for four days. Elise followed the recipe tipped by Alvin. In the first TikTok, she ran through the straightforward recipe which uses a whole heap of chocolate.
In a follow up video, Elise took the brownies from the fridge before baking them for 30 minutes. Once cooked, the brownies need to be placed in the freezer. However, Elise warned that this may not make them “food safe”, due to the heat defrosting other food in the freezer.
It’s best to wait until the brownies are cooled before placing them in the freezer. The brownies also need to be left in the fridge for a further day before tucking in. But Elise couldn’t wait.
Elise shared her verdict: “I wanted to say it was overhyped, it’s not. Look at that, this is the best brownie I’ve ever had, you guys need to make these.” Some foodies asked why the brownies needed to be placed in the fridge for so long.
The answer? Because the recipe is predominantly made of chocolate so needs ample time to set. So if you’re loo.
