dulce de leche brownies

what’s better than brownies? brownies WITH DULCE DE LECHE! oh baby! so other than making a banoffee pie i stumbled onto david lebovitz’s awesome recipe and knew i had to make em


thanks to the awesome emma from bangpr, i scored some green & black’s organic chocolate so i used a mixture of the dark chocolate with a bit of milk chocolate


ingredients: 115g salted or unsalted butter; 170g bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped; 1/4cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder; 3 large eggs; 1cup sugar; 1tsp vanilla extract; 1cup flour; 1cup of your awesome home made dulce de leche


mmm chocolate. roughly chop. line square/rectangle brownie pan with foil. make sure it goes up the edges. spray with a bit of oil and preheat oven to 175C


melt the butter in a medium saucepan. add the chocolate pieces and stir constantly over very low heat until the chocolate is melted. remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. add in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sugar, vanilla, then the flour


scrape half of the batter into the prepared pan


now grab your jar of dulce de leche. maybe swipe a spoonful first.


drop tablespoons of dulce de leche over the brownie batter. drop bigger spoonfuls than in my photo. trust me. the first time i made these there was nowhere near enough of the sweet sweet goodness so i added a whole crapload of dulce de leche the second time. don’t worry the brownie isnt sweet so it’s ok


spread remaining brownie batter on top. and maybe a couple more spoons of dulce de leche on top. i tried to ‘swirl’ mine with the brownie batter but for some reason it didnt look that pretty hmm anywhos bake 35-45mins until centre feels just slightly firm


and tadah!


and stack em for brownie pyramid awesomeness!

1. Those look absolutely delicious! I love brownies made from scratch, with real chocolate, not that store-bought stuff!

15. .. total preparation and cooking time (minus the dulce de leche) 50mins.. time hungry colleagues took to devour the entire tray 5 minutes.. added some melted white chocolate to top off my own little stash at home.. truly divine!

    We did cut back on the amount of sugar though.. since the dulce de leche was sweet enough.. managed to swirl some of it in.. there were some nice veins of the golden goodness scattered through the brownies…
