As part of the Bring some Brownies theme, I am posting my second brownie for this week. If you liked the Walnut brownie I posted yesterday, you would definitely like this dulce de leche brownie too. Dulce de Leche is a very famous spread from the South American cuisine and I made it from scratch for the South American theme last week. But as I also needed it for the Dips and Spreads theme I signed up, I made some other dish and have the recipe for Dulce de Leche in drafts. It would take a while for me to post the recipe, but I also have a quick and easy version using a can of condensed milk. You can read about it in my Alfajores post. My dulce de dleche was relatively thinner than the one made with the can of condensed milk, so it is easier to swirl in the brownie batter. If using the easier version, add some milk to dilute it.
The brownie needs to be served warm, so MW it for 30 seconds after slicing. The original recipe uses 3 eggs, but as the eggs I bought were tiny, I used four if them in the recipe. As I mentioned yesterday, I divided the batter into three, so baked it in a small disposable loaf liner, but you need to bake the whole batter in a 8″ or 9″ square tin. It would give you perfect slices. As I made all the brownies on a single day, I tasted all the three while taking photos of the small bite sized piece. My favourite was this brownie. The dulce de leche added a lot of richness to the already sinful brownie. You can even add nuts along with the batter for some crunch. The batter is made with Callebut chocolate, but you can also use Morde or such compounds.
