TROPICAL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.

• In a medium saucepan, combine the butter with the sugar, cocoa and salt.
• Over very low heat, melt the ingredients together stirring constantly until both chocolate and sugar are just melted.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool until warm.
• Stir in the vanilla and cardamom and then add the eggs, beating vigorously with a wire whisk, one at a time.
• Continue to beat until batter is thick and shiny, about another minute.
• Add the flour and gently stir to combine then beat vigorously for another minute.
• Fold in the nuts, mango and ginger.
• Spread the mixture evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a small amount of moist batter on it.
• Let cool to warm or room temperature before serving.
