Ingredients

  • 1 Cup granulated white sugar
  • 5 oz semi sweet chocolate roughly chopped into small pieces

  • 3 Eggs

  • 1/2 Cup pistachios chopped
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease and line with parchment paper an 8 inch square baking tin.
  • In a saucepan set over simmering water, add the cup of condensed milk and cover. Leave it to thicken and caramelize for about 1/2 hour. Stir every 5 minutes while it it caramelizing. When done, remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Stir while it is melting to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and eggs on high speed for about one minute. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Pour in the chocolate mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in the flour and nuts.
  • Pour brownie mixture into prepared pan and spread out so that it is even. Spoon over dulce de leche. Using a sharp knife, swirl around the dulce the leche.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes. Brownies should still be moist when you remove from oven. Leave them on a wire rack to cool for at least an hour.
  • Lift out the brownies on the parchment paper and cut into 25 small squares. Store in an airtight container.
