These sweetened condensed milk brownies are the definition of fudgy. There are three types of chocolate used. They are made extra rich and delicious thanks to the addition of sweetened condensed milk.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 pan with foil and lightly grease. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl over low heat, melt the butter. Add in the sweetened condensed milk and stir with a whisk. Add in the dark chopped chocolate and continue mixing until everything is smooth and melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 3/4 cups dark chocolate
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolk, and both sugars. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until light and airy. There should be bubbles forming. You may also use an electric mixer for this part to save elbow grease!
1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk
Add in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture from earlier and gently fold together using a spatula. Do not overmix!
Add in the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder and continue mixing until no streaks appear.
3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Toss in the chocolate chips and mix for a few seconds.
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Pour into a prepared 8x8 square pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out slightly fudgy.
Every oven is different! I have baked this brownie recipe in my new oven and it has taken upwards of 50 minutes. Please keep this in mind while baking! Begin checking at 30 minutes, and have 5 minute intervals until ready.
Once baked, slightly open the oven door for 10 minutes and allow the hot air to come out. This will prevent them from collapsing. Then completely remove the brownies from the oven and cool on the counter.
For the Hot Fudge Sauce
While the brownies are cooling, melt all of the ingredients together on low heat or in the microwave at 15 second intervals. Make sure to stir in between!
2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Drizzle over cooled brownies. Allow to set and enjoy!
Notes
Butter - I always use unsalted butter. This will be melted.Chocolate chips - This is added into the brownie batter. Once again, I used dark chocolate chips, but semi-sweet work too. You may also omit them completely.Chocolate - A chocolate bar or chocolate chips works. I used a dark chocolate bar to balance the sweetness, but semi-sweet chocolate chips works as well. Don't use milk.Eggs - Eggs and an egg yolk are needed. Remove two hours prior to baking.Sweetened condensed milk - I used this one. One 300ml can will be used for the brownies, along with 1/3 cup for the fudge sauce.Unsweetened cocoa powder - Helps create the chocolate-y texture. Make sure to use unsweetened to help balance the sweetness.
