Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Line a deep square tray with greaseproof paper and spray with non–stick cooking spray.
Place a large pot with water on the stove and bring to the boil.
Melt the butter in a bowl placed over the simmering water.
Add chocolate and melt.
 
Gently stir butter and chocolate together.

Sift in flour; mix.

Add chocolate mixture to the flour, along with the nuts and cream; fold in with a spatula.
Spread mixture into the prepared tray and bake for approximately 40 – 50 minutes.

Beat with a spoon until smooth and creamy.
Turn the brownies out from the tray and remove paper.
