These Nutella Brownies are OUTRAGEOUS!

I might begin out with a narrative of why these are so good, and why you’ll love them a lot and why you’ll get a severe Nutella hit with these.

However let’s be sincere. You simply need to know the way I acquired that neat(ish), thick layer of Nutella sandwiched in the midst of a decadent brownie, proper?

So let’s lower the chase. That is how I make these Outrageous Nutella Brownies.

A giant, fats layer of frozen Nutella slab

That’s proper. A frozen slab of Nutella, sandwiched in the midst of brownie batter. An entire jar of it. This is similar idea behind my Nutella Pancakes. Anybody for fluffy pancakes filled with an ideal layer of Nutella inside? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Ridiculously Decadent Nutella Recipe

You’d assume I’d in the reduction of on the chocolate within the brownie batter as a result of we’re utilizing an entire jar of Nutella, and the wise aspect of me actually wished to. However I attempted and I wasn’t proud of the result. Molten Nutella layer apart, I nonetheless wished the brownie to style good.

So principally, this recipe is my traditional Brownie recipe PLUS an entire jar of Nutella. (OK … So I’ve just a few recipes that use an entire jar, like this triple Nutella whammy Nutella Cheesecake! 😂)

Private trainers in all places are rubbing their arms with glee in any respect these potential new shoppers….

Different strategies I attempted – and discarded

  • Some – and LOADS – of Nutella within the brownie batter. Solely a lot you may add with out compromising the brownie texture, so it lacked actual Nutella flavour;

  • Swirling Nutella in – it labored wonderful, however once more, simply not a severe Nutella hit. In a blind style, I guess you wouldn’t even know Nutella was in there;

  • Nutella chips – dolloping bits of Nutella on a tray, freezing them then stirring in. I attempted small and huge. Whereas it labored wonderful, it simply didn’t have the identical impact of a severe Nutella hit like sandwiching the brownie with a layer of Nutella; and

  • Mixture of the above – the least efficient.

Turned out, the best however craziest sounding technique of creating a large frozen Nutella slab that I exploit in my Nutella Pancakes yielded the perfect end result.

Do-it-yourself Nutella or different Hazelnut Spreads

For pure comfort, I exploit a jar of Nutella on this recipe. I haven’t tried it with Do-it-yourself Nutella or different hazelnut spreads.

However given the way in which through which that is made, I see no motive why this wouldn’t work, so long as the unfold freezes right into a stable slab.

If not, scrape it again into the jar, have a cry, then eat all of it with a spoon. – Johnsat x

PS Small-ish items are the go right here. That is wealthy. In case you didn’t collect that from the outline. If not, one have a look at the outrageous quantity of chocolate and Nutella within the recipe ought to do the trick.

PPS Identify sake from Ina Garten’s Outrageous Chocolate Brownies. I feel these Nutella Brownies are a worthy opponent.

Ingredients

  • 400g / 13 oz Nutella (Note 1)
  • 200 g / 1 3/4 US sticks (14 tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 200 g / 1 1/4 cups / 7 oz dark chocolate melts / semi sweet chocolate chips (Note 2)
  • 1 cup (175g) brown sugar , loosely packed
  • 3 eggs , room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) flour , plain/all purpose, sifted if lump
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder , sifted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grease a 20cm/8″ square pan with butter then line with parchment/baking paper with overhang.
  2. Scrape Nutella into pan, spread. Freeze 1 hour or until solid.
  3. Using paper overhang, remove onto a plate and return to freezer (softens pretty quickly)
  4. Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan forced / convection).
  5. Reline the same pan with parchment/baking paper with overhang.
  6. Place butter and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (takes me 1 min) until almost melted. Stir to finish melting and incorporate butter into chocolate.
  7. Cool for a few minutes. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla, whisk to combine.
  8. Add Dry ingredients, whisk to combine (few lumps ok).
  9. Pour half batter into pan. Use spatula/egg flip to lift frozen Nutella slab and place on top. Top with remaining batter.
  10. Bake 35 minutes. Insert skewer in middle to check if cooked – should come out with mostly pale brown smear (Nutella) and a bit of dark brown smear (brownie, fudgy).
  11. Cool in pan 30 minutes, then use paper overhang to lift out. Cool for at least another 45 minutes then slice into 16 pieces (4 x 4) and serve!

Notes

1. Nutella – I haven’t tried this with other hazelnut chocolate spreads but see no reason why it wouldn’t work as long as it freezes into a slab. 
2. Chocolate – Use cooking chocolate chips from the baking section of the supermarket, not eating chocolate.
3. General notes:* Baking time – longer than usual brownies because the frozen Nutella brings down the temp of the batter.* Gluten free – I see no reason why this wouldn’t work with Gluten Free Brownies! * Measures – Cups, tbsp and tsp measures differ slightly in size between countries. For most recipes, the difference is not enough to make a difference, or the difference is relative and consistent across all ingredients in a recipe. Where the difference DOES matter, I specify the measurements for different countries, like I do for my Chewy Oatmeal Raisin cookies. For this recipe, it DOES NOT matter so you can use cups or weights per the recipe, no matter which country you are in. The only exception is Japan, please use the weight measures, not cups.
