CARAMEL BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus more for greasing pan
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Half of a 14-ounce can dulce de leche
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).
  • In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the prepared pan.
  • Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter. Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter. Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges). Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.

CARAMEL-CASHEW BROWNIES



Caramel-Cashew Brownies image

These brownies include a fusion of sweet caramel and nuts.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield Ten 2-inch brownies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces plus extra for greasing
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cake flour, sifted
3/4 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks
1/4 cup cream
Approximately 40 store-bought caramels
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 to 3/4 cup raw cashews

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil, making sure to cover the corners and sides. Lightly butter the aluminum foil, including corners and sides.
  • In the bowl of a double boiler set over simmering water, combine the butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate. Stirring often, heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until well blended. Fold in the sifted flour and stir just until the flour disappears. Stir in the semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time will be longer if you are using a metal pan. Do not overbake. Transfer the dish to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Make the Carmel-Cashew Topping: Pour the cream into the bowl of a double boiler set over simmering water. Unwrap caramels and put them into the bowl. Stirring frequently to prevent sticking, combine the cream and caramels until the mixture becomes homogeneous and smooth. Take the mixture off the heat and keep stirring until the caramel becomes a little thicker and the mixture begins to cool down. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla and stir. Coarsely chop the cashews and fold them into the caramel mixture until nuts are completely coated with caramel. Pour mixture over the top of the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate the brownies until the caramel is set, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove brownies from the pan by grabbing the sides of the aluminum foil and lifting them from the pan. With a serrated knife, cut the brownies into 2-inch squares. These can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4 days.

EASY GOOEY BROWNIES



Easy gooey brownies image

Know the secret to gooey brownies? Don't overcook them, and dot through caramel or chocolates filled with liquid caramel or ganache to help add moisture

Provided by Katie Hiscock

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

150g butter
75g light soft brown sugar
150g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
1 tbsp golden syrup
3 eggs
125g golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
3 tbsp cocoa powder, plus more to dust
4-6 tbsp dulce de leche, caramel or chocolate hazelnut spread

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment. Melt together the butter, brown sugar, chocolate and golden syrup gently on a low heat until it is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs and caster sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy - this will take a few minutes and is worth doing properly. Add the vanilla extract, then sift over the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and add the chocolate mixture. Fold everything together quickly and scoop half of the mixture into the tin. Dot over scoops of caramel or chocolate hazelnut spread and then scoop the rest of the brownie mixture over the top. Add more scoops of caramel or chocolate spread, if you like, and bake for 30 mins. The top of the mixture should now be set and slightly cracked looking, but the mixture underneath will still have a slight wobble.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust the tops with cocoa or icing sugar, if you like, or if serving as a dessert drizzle with more caramel. Will keep for 3 days in an airtight container.

OOEY GOOEY CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BROWNIES



Ooey Gooey Chocolate Caramel Brownies image

These are the greatest brownies ever. Once you taste them you will never go back. I've tweaked this recipe from Canadian Living's Best Muffins & More cookbook, and now it's at the point where my family and friends have declared me the Goddess of Brownies. One friend even told me these brownies were better than sex. Seriously, they're that good.

Provided by Nieraa

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 50m

Yield 16-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, cubed
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whipped cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
  • Take two saucepans of roughly equal size. Fill the smaller one about halfway with water. Put the other one on top. Put them on a burner and turn it to just below boiling. You could also use a double boiler.
  • Melt butter and chocolate together in the saucepan, and remove saucepans from heat. Dump out the water from the bottom one and dry it out.
  • Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until it's mixed nicely. Slowly add the eggs and the vanilla. Next, stir in the flour and salt.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch cake pan and bake for 12 minutes. (The batter won't be cooked through).
  • Meanwhile, in the bottom saucepan, boil the cream, brown sugar, and butter for 3 minutes.
  • Drizzle the brownies with the sugar mixture. Do this slowly or it'll go through the surface of the brownie.
  • Bake the brownies for another 8-10 minutes. They should be golden, not browned.
  • Sprinkle the brownies with the mini chocolate chips (if using,) give them a moment to melt, and then swirl them with the knife.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the brownies have a gooey center, do not overbake them. The toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Use a high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor. If you don't have caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting caramels with a little bit of milk or cream.
  • Chopped cashews add a nice crunch to the brownies. If you don't like cashews, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or pecans.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you are using a gluten-free flour blend, make sure it contains xanthan gum. Xanthan gum helps to bind the ingredients together and prevents the brownies from becoming crumbly.

Conclusion:

These gooey caramel cashew brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are rich, decadent, and have a perfect combination of textures. The gooey caramel center is perfectly complemented by the crunchy cashews and the chewy brownie base. These brownies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
