This recipe showed up on Reddit the other day, and since my mother-in-law loves chocolate, I decided to give it a go, and send her a batch.
Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
⅔ cup Brown sugar
-
⅔ cup white sugar
-
2 eggs
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2⅓ cups all-purpose Flour
-
1½ tsps baking powder
-
2 cups chocolate chips
-
395g (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Preparation
To make the cookie dough.
- In an electric mixer, combine butter, brown sugar and caster sugar. Beat until pale and fluffy.
-
With the mixer still going, beat eggs. salt and vanilla, until combined.
-
Stir in flour and baking powder until well combined. Then add 1 cup of the chocolate chips, mix until just combined.
To make chocolate fudge.
- Add remaining chocolate chips and condensed milk to a medium saucepan.
-
Stir over medium heat until chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
To bake
- Line a high edge baking tray with baking paper and grease lightly with oil.
-
Layer half the cookie dough mixture on the base of the pane. Pressing evenly into the corners.
-
Pour the cooled chocolate fudge mixture over the cookie dough. Topping with the remaining cookie dough. Spreading evenly with your fingers.
-
Bake in a 350F (175C) degree oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the tray for at least 1 hour. Remove and cut into squares.
Here are my notes on the recipe :
- Better to use a smaller baking pan than a larger one, since I had trouble making the top layer cover the fudge layer.
- Probably no need to put down parchment. I was able to release the squares easily, just by greasing the pan with the butter wrappers.
- The video makes the fudge center seem more gooey than it actually ends up being. Once cooled, it solidifies and while it’s good, it’s not gooey.
