Dulce de Leche Brownies
Report
Dulce de Leche Brownies combine a moist chocolate batter with swirls of creamy dulce de leche for a rich and textured treat. The recipe balances both granulated and dark brown sugars to deepen the sweetness and uses a careful swirl technique to create a marbled effect. Baking in an 8x8-inch pan ensures a fudgy consistency with balanced flavors of cocoa and caramel.
Description
Dulce de Leche Brownies begin with melted butter mixed with cocoa powder and sugars to create a dense, chocolate base. Eggs and vanilla are incorporated for moisture and aroma, while a hint of salt and baking powder help balance and leaven the batter. Half the batter is spread in the pan, then topped with dollops of dulce de leche swirled in, followed by the remaining batter and more dulce de leche. Baking at 350˚F for 27 to 30 minutes gives brownies a tender center with a slightly chewy crust where the dulce de leche adds a caramelized richness. These brownies suit serving as a dessert or snack for anyone wanting a chocolate treat elevated by the sweet, creamy inclusions of dulce de leche.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder natural or Dutch-process, 60 grams
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150 grams
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 110 grams
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract 8 milliliters
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 60 grams
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche divided, 120 milliliters
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20-centimeter) pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and then line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with butter or nonstick cooking spray and then set it aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it's completely melted. Add the cocoa powder, granulated sugar and dark brown sugar and stir very well. Allow to cool for about 3 minutes before continuing.
- Add the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Add the salt, baking powder and flour and stir until just combined and there are no more patches of flour.
- Spread about half of the batter into the prepared pan and drop 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of the dulce de leche on top in dollops before swirling lightly with a toothpick or knife. Top with the remaining batter and the remaining dulce de leche and swirl again slightly.
- Bake the brownies for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean of batter. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Cover and store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
