Ingredients
170g Unsalted Butter (Melted)
265g Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
90g Plain Flour
42g Cocoa Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
170g Dark Chocolate (Roughly Chopped)
395g Sweetened Condensed Milk
265g Milk Chocolate
280g Nutella
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the butter and brown sugar. Once combined, add the eggs and vanilla then whisk again until fully combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together using a spatula until just combined (Don’t overmix).
5. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate using a spatula until evenly combined.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth over into an even layer using a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a wooden skewer, and a few moist crumbs are on it.
8. Allow to cool fully.
9. Place all the fudge ingredients in a microwaveable bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (stirring in-between) until fully melted and combined.
10. Evenly spread the fudge all over the brownie.
11. Refrigerate until the fudge layer is set.
12. Carefully remove the brownie from the pan and allow to sit for about 15 minutes, this will soften the fudge slightly to make the slicing process easier.
13. Slice up and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overmix: Overmixing the brownie batter can lead to a final product that is both dense and dry, ultimately compromising the deliciously fudgy texture that we all love in a good brownie.
Don’t overbake: If you want to achieve fudgy and moist brownies that have a deliciously rich texture, I highly recommend under-baking them just slightly. This little trick can make a significant difference in the final product!
Serving: Since you need to refrigerate the slice to help the fudge layer set properly, it can make the slicing process a little more difficult. To make things easier, I recommend allowing it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before you start slicing it up. This way, the Nutella fudge will soften slightly, making for a much smoother and more enjoyable experience when cutting through the layers.
