SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES



Salted Caramel Brownies image

The salted caramel brownie is an ingenious combination of blond, bittersweet caramel and dark, bittersweet chocolate. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito of New York's Baked bakeries are not the first to note the affinity of caramel and chocolate, but by emphasizing the bitter, sweet and salty notes in both, they've made that rare thing - a perfectly balanced bite. The bittersweetness of the caramel can be easily adjusted by cooking it less (for a milder, Kraft-like taste) or more (edgier, stronger).

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield About 2 dozen brownies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters light corn syrup
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 cup/115 grams sour cream
2 sticks/225 grams unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, more for greasing pan
1 1/4 cups/150 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
11 ounces/300 grams dark chocolate (60 to 72 percent cacao), coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/105 grams firmly packed light brown sugar
5 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Coarse sugar (such as raw or turbinado) and flaky salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup with 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat, stirring gently, until an instant-read thermometer reads 350 degrees or until the mixture is dark amber in color, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, slowly pour in heavy cream and salt (it will foam up) and whisk. Whisk in sour cream (it may look lumpy at first) and set aside to cool. Taste and add salt if needed to give the caramel a good balance of salty and sweet.
  • Make the brownies: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Use butter (or baking spray) to lightly grease a 9-x-13-inch baking pan. Line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper, and butter or spray the parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and cocoa powder.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together, either in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, or in a microwave at low heat, working in 30-second bursts. Stir until chocolate and butter are melted and combined. Whisk in sugars. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Using a sturdy whisk, add eggs one by one, whisking just until combined. Stir in vanilla.
  • Gently pour chocolate mixture over flour mixture. Using a spatula, fold together just until few streaks of flour are visible; do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into the pan and let settle. Drizzle caramel sauce over batter until batter is almost covered. (You may not use all the caramel.) On the surface, use the tip of a butter knife or icing spatula to swirl the batter and caramel together. Don't worry if it looks messy.
  • Bake 30 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time. At the 30-minute mark, shake the pan gently to test for doneness. When done, the brownies will be barely set in the center and puffed, but not dry, around the edges. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with coarse sugar and salt.
  • Let cool to room temperature before cutting. After cutting, if desired, drizzle any remaining caramel over the top. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Makes 16 larger or 32 bite-sized brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

200g unsalted butter, plus a little extra for greasing
100g chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
100g chocolate, 50% cocoa solids
397g can Carnation caramel
1 tsp flaky sea salt, plus a little extra for the top
200g golden caster sugar
4 medium eggs, at room temperature
130g plain flour
50g cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
  • Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
  • In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt - it will loosen up.
  • Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
  • In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
  • Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
  • Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
  • Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
  • Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
  • Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.

  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached for fudgy brownies or a few more crumbs for cakey brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them, as this will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Salted caramel crunch brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor, gooey caramel center, and crunchy toffee topping, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
