Description

Indulge in rich, fudgy brownies with a luscious salted caramel center. This recipe combines dark chocolate and buttery brownie batter layered with a smooth, golden salted caramel that bakes to perfection, creating an irresistible gooey treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 200g / 7oz unsalted butter
  • 200g / 7oz dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
  • 1/2 cup plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Salted Caramel

  • 395g / 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup or maple syrup
  • 60g / 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Baking Tin: Butter and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Salted Caramel: Combine sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally for 1 minute, then whisk continuously for 7 minutes until the mixture turns a pale golden color, ensuring it doesn’t burn. Remove from heat and whisk for another 30 seconds, then cover and keep warm.
  4. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in three 30-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Mix Brownie Batter: Add brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  7. Reserve Batter: Set aside 1/2 cup of the brownie batter for the topping.
  8. Assemble Base Layer: Pour the remaining brownie batter into the prepared baking tin and spread evenly.
  9. Pour Salted Caramel Layer: Pour the warm salted caramel over the brownie batter, covering as much surface as possible. If the caramel has thickened, gently reheat it on the stove to make it pourable again.
  10. Add Reserved Batter and Swirl: Dollop the reserved 1/2 cup of brownie batter over the salted caramel layer randomly. Use a knife or skewer to create gentle swirls, blending the two layers slightly.
  11. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes for gooey brownies or up to 35 minutes for moist but less gooey brownies.
  12. Cool: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cooling rack and cool for an additional 20 minutes. The caramel will firm up as the brownies cool for neat slicing.

Notes

  • Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor.
  • Golden syrup can be substituted with maple syrup for a different nuance.
  • Constant gentle whisking during caramel preparation prevents burning and ensures a smooth texture.
  • For a less gooey brownie, bake closer to 35 minutes.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely for clean slicing as the caramel firms up once cooled.
