Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp Vietnamese coffee powder (or strong brewed espresso powder)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Melt the Butter and Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped semisweet chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine the Mixtures: Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, salt, and coffee powder together, then fold it into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Drizzle half of the sweetened condensed milk over the batter.
- Add Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and drizzle the rest of the condensed milk over it.
- Swirl the Condensed Milk: Using a knife or skewer, swirl the condensed milk into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly fudgy.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Notes
Nutty Twist: Add chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds to the batter for a crunchy texture.
Vegan Option: Substitute the butter with vegan butter and the eggs with flax eggs or a vegan egg replacer. Use dairy-free condensed milk for a completely vegan version.
Different Coffee: While Vietnamese coffee provides an authentic flavor, you can substitute with strong brewed espresso powder for a similar deep coffee taste.
