Rich, Fudgy Brownies Made With Sweetened Condensed Milk For A Perfect Balance Of Sweetness And Texture!
These Sweetened Condensed Milk Brownies are one of those desserts that feel like a real treat with every bite! I decided to make them because sweetened condensed milk creates such a rich, smooth texture in baked goods, and I knew it would make these brownies extra fudgy.
The end result is a perfectly dense brownie with a glossy, slightly chewy top. My family loves them because they’re so simple to make, but they taste like something you’d get from a bakery. They’re great for any occasion, and once you take a bite, you’ll see why these brownies are a family favorite!
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
A: No, sweetened condensed milk is much thicker and sweeter than regular milk, and it helps give these brownies their dense, fudgy texture. I wouldn’t recommend substituting it.
Q: Can I add chocolate chips or nuts to these brownies?
A: Absolutely! You can mix in some chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans for extra texture and flavor. Just fold them into the batter before baking.
Q: Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
A: Yes! These brownies are even better after a day or two when the flavors have had time to set. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Q: How long will these brownies stay fresh?
A: These brownies can stay fresh for up to 5 days if stored properly in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months!
Q: Can I make these brownies dairy-free?
A: You can try substituting sweetened condensed coconut milk for the regular sweetened condensed milk, but make sure to check that the other ingredients, like butter, are dairy-free.
What You Need to Make Sweetened Condensed Milk Brownies
For the Brownies:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Topping (optional):
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (or more for extra chocolatey goodness)
How to Make Sweetened Condensed Milk Brownies
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the brownie batter:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
3. Add dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Pour into the pan:
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Add the topping (optional):
If you’re adding chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the batter.
6. Bake the brownies:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. The brownies should have a shiny, slightly cracked top.
7. Cool and slice:
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!
Tips
- For extra fudginess: Try underbaking the brownies just a little bit to keep them extra gooey in the center.
- Add-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter to the batter for more variety.
- Let them cool: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into them to ensure clean slices and a nice texture.
