-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Hot Fudge Layer:
-
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 tbsp butter
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🔧 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Hot Fudge
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter.
-
Stir until smooth and fully melted.
-
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Make the Brownie Batter
-
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until combined.
-
Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
-
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
-
Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Assemble
-
Pour about 2/3 of the brownie batter into the loaf pan.
-
Spoon the hot fudge mixture on top in a thick ribbon (you might not need all of it).
-
Top with the remaining brownie batter and gently swirl with a butter knife.
5. Bake
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center (not in the fudge) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🍨 Serving Tips
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with more hot fudge.
-
Store tightly wrapped at room temp for 3–4 days, or freeze slices for later.
