Dulce de Leche Swirl Brownies

I am officially old.

It’s my brother’s birthday today and he’s 18. Eighteen, what the hell!?

When did we all get so old?! I remember when he was a little blonde baby taking everything in sight apart with a screwdriver and running around naked. Now he’s an adult!

When I took my car for an MOT on Wednesday, my brother took me out for a drive in his car. Honestly, the weirdest experience of my life looking to my right and seeing my brother sat there driving me!!!

I’m a proper grown up now :/

Woah, this is too much for me, I’m going to stuff my face with brownies.

Dulce de Leche Swirl Brownies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 90 g good quality dark chocolate
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 300 g light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 125 g plain flour
  • 25 g cocoa powder, I use Green & Blacks
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 400 g dulce de leche

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease and line an 8 x 8 inch pan.
  2. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and add in the butter. Place in the microwave in 20 second increments stirring between everyone until everything is melted. (Make sure you stir for a good 30 seconds because chocolate can sometimes be melted, but still hold it's shape so if you stir a few lumps, you might not need to heat it again!) If you're not comfortable melting chocolate in the microwave then place the heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted.
  3. Leave to one side to cool. Place the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and mix until smooth and well combined, about a minute on med-high speed.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl.
  5. Add the melted chocolate to the sugar and egg mixture and mix until well combined and smooth.
  6. Tip in the dry ingredients and fold in on a low speed until well combined.
  7. Add in the dulce de leche and stir by hand, don't incorporate entirely, leave lots of glorious swirls 🙂
  8. Pour the mixture into your baking pan and smooth over, being careful not to undo your work of making the swirls!
  9. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out with a few crumbs still stuck to it.
  10. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
  11. Once cooled slice into 9-12 bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days.

  2. Oh yummy!! I always love a twist on brownies.
    Isn't it crazy how fast we grow up, but we really see it when we look at our siblings. My baby sister is graduating high school this summer, and starting college. It seems unreal, and makes me feel so old.
