Hey all, I gave the wrong weight for the flour in the vid. 3/4 cup = 90g, not 160g. I confused it with the sugar (which is heavier) when doing my math. The recipe in the description is corrected!
Can you, sure. Should you, no. 1. The ratios if the two are vastly different. Sugar vs nearly pure fat. 2. I imagine the flavor would also be gross 3. Replacing the yolk with mayo would be less insane.
One time I was at a party with Adam. While I was hooking up with a girl, he interrupts us and says “hey did you know brown sugar is just regular sugar and molasses?”
I made this (thin recipe, no molasses) and it is VERY good. The flavor and the texture are kinda like a Brazilian dessert called Brigadeiro, which is just sweet condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder cooked until it gets your desired texture.
God yes, it’s SO refreshing that there’s no faffing around with cutesy waffle, he just gets straight to it.

As someone who has tried many, many, many brownie recipes, this is absolutely the best one. can confidently say that the brownies i made with this recipe (i used the cakey version) were the best brownies i've ever had, even though i've bought some pricey ones from bakeries. thank you so much for making this!
@JACOB FREDMAN I don’t think so. They might be a liiiittle less chewy, but dark brown sugar substitutes it pretty well, and the condensed milk already makes it extremely soft and chewy. You can do without it in the recipe, but just use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar.
One thing i absolutely love about Adam's dessert recipes is that they've completely changed my opinion about baked desserts. I love cooking but i hate baking because of the amount of effort it takes, the precision of the ingredient quantities, and the inability to taste test at different stages of the baking process. Adam's approach to desserts has been liberated me from the rules of baking and allows me to approach it the same way I cook. Thanks Adam.
@@kaz8297 you can actually. There have been a few cases getting food poisoning from tasting batter. Of course, they are extremely rare, but for people with a weak immune system that is still very likely
Just try this recipe. It's the third time I make it, and I've just multiplied the quantities by 5 (2 kilograms of condensed milk!) for a family gathering. This is such a crowdpleaser, it has never failed! After a day or so they become a little bit harder, but everybody agrees that they stay super fudgy and chewy on the inside, so I even make them ahead of time. One little change I make is that I use the whole egg for the sake of not wasting the egg white, and I gotta say, without changing anything else in the recipe they don't seem to get any more cakey than Adam's brownies. Besides that, this recipe is pure genius, it's just an insane combination designed for chocolate and caramel lovers.
Yep, he doesn't remove the egg white to avoid cakiness, he removes it to lower the liquid content of the batter. The less water, the less likely you'll end up with a non-glossy brownie top all covered with holes. But if it worked for you, that's great!

I've made this recipe about a dozen times since this video has dropped. The corners and edges will make you shit your pants it's so good. Also once I bought the molasses and started adding some in there, it's a game changing brownie.

My goodness, I can only imagine how many brownies this household has been tempted with lately. My arteries would be flowing with chocolate by now if it were me. In a good way.
Followed this recipe the other day and can confirm that it is amazing! I ended up not using chocolate chips. The flavor is intense. I've always loved condensed milk so I had a good feeling about this one just from watching. One of the best reasons to make this over a boxed recipe is that it stays moist for several days. After it cooled, I put my leftovers into an airtight sealed plastic bag and it still tastes great 3 days later or so. In my experience with boxed brownies, they tend to start drying out the next day.
Hi Adam, I gave these a try last weekend. Half way through making them I realized that I didn’t have eggs, so I ended up just eating the butter, coco, condensed milk, and sugar with a spoon. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
Hi Adam, I gave these a try last weekend. Half way through making them I realized I only had coco powder, so I just ended up snorting all my coco powder and dying. 10/10 would recommend to a friend
100% make these. You won’t regret it. I followed the recipe exactly with the addition of a pretzel crust (1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 stick melted butter - combine and press into bottom of pan, baking for 10 minutes) it was - by far- the best thing I have baked in a very long time.
I tried this recipe and it is delicious! I didn’t have powdered sugar so i used 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar and i still got a nice brownie skin. The flavour the caramelized butter gives it is unreal!!
Finally I found baking/cooking TH-camr that I like ,put the recipe in the video and description not only that but they explain it as well instantly subscribed
Amazing. Just amaaaaazziiiing. I made double the recipe because I only have an 9x13in pan. I made the cake version but instead of 2 eggs, I used 1 XL egg with 1 egg yolk. I used both semi sweet and white chocolate chips, stirred in and sprinkle on top before baking. So fudgy, with a beautiful skin. The edges are the best. I gave some to my in laws, pretty sure I earned some brownie points here hehe. ETA: baked them 47min for double the recipe, but my oven is old so if you double the recipe I would check them at 42min mark. I also measured my dry ingredient with a scale. Using cups to measure flour, cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a brownie recipe is not a gamble I would risk.
Me, three days ago: "Man, I can't believe Adam Ragusea is doing a two-part special for brownies!" Me, today: "Man, I can't believe Adam Ragusea is doing a three-part special for brownies!"
I made these with and without espresso powder, I recommend the espresso powder. It just brings out the chocolate flavours so much more. But It also is better if you let it toast for a second with the cocoa powder
Hey did you use instant espresso powder or actually espresso beans grounded up? I also wanna do an espresso version, but I only have the ground espresso coffee beans. So not sure if it's gonna work or be too strong and one has to bite into pieces of beans haha
HOLY LORDY THAT'S CHEWY!!! I just made these. Adam has delivered on his promise. For all those Canadians out there, our cans of condensed milk are 300g... That's fine. No need to break open the next can to make it up. Turned out just fine. I put a little bit more powdered sugar, but pretty sure I didn't need to. Also: sift the powered sugar. I thought the clumps would all just dissolve... They mostly did, but make your life easier. Thanks Adam!

@@dvorak826 I just put my second batch in the oven and they are absolutely worth it. I don't even love brownies all that much usually but these are amazing. Do it
After many, many batches of this thing, I have to say that it got me many praises from many people. What I've done above things mentioned in the recipe is: - addition of instant coffee or chilly peppers - always some good dusting of Maldon salt crystals on top!
Sponsorship Transition Report: Very smooth transition. Caught me off-guard. Comparing the consistency of the rich brownie batter to honey and thusly transitioning to the Honey sponsorship portion was simply a work of genius. Additionally, the Honey text falling from the pan with the brownie batter was the cherry on top. Again, wonderful work and deserving of praise. Overall Rating: 10/10
This is literally the brownie I DREAM of. (Yes, I dream of brownies!) Perfect texture, wonderfully chocolatey, sweetness is just right for my taste. I did add a good pinch of Maldon salt to the top before baking, but I add that to just about everything I bake. THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!
I tried this recipe, added expresso powder and white chocolate chips, and it was insanely good!!! They were gone in a single day and my family isn't known for eating sweets, but everyone loved these! Can't recomend it enough and I'm sure I'll make more of these in the future, thank you Adam!!
Just made this recipe (thin chewy version) and I must say, this is not like any other brownie recipe I've ever tried. I've made some alterations and few things didn't go well: - I'm using salted dutch butter in a can (they're more buttery) and I still added 1/4 tsp of table salt bcs of the sugar in this recipe. It turned out great and not salty at all. - This was the first time I've made brown butter. I thought I burned the butter since it took me long to shift the cocoa in (next time I'll be sure to shift all ingredients beforehand). I added 1 tsp of instant coffee powder (not espresso) and after it smelled like toasty caramel. Happy to tell you that it wasn't burnt at all. - Since I don't have good quality vanilla extract and molasses, I didn't put them and swab it with 5 drops of peppermint extract. I love them so it's a nice refreshing touch. - I mistook flour and sugar so I added flour in first (hey, they have the same color don't judge) and proceeded to add sugar and other ingredients. Since it came out well I can say this recipe is pretty forgiving. - I only got 23.5cm and 8 inch pan, and I used the former since I don't want it to bake longer. It came out pretty thin but I'm not complaining. - I used the metric measurement and didn't change any of them. For me, it's sweet, but just right (I've tasted more recipes that were too overly sweet). It's not chocolatey tho, more like caramel-y. If I break it apart I can see thin strings of caramel forming which is cool. - The consistency of this brownie is an interesting one. You can mush it together like a playdough. It's wet, doesn't have any dry part at all. It got papery top but mine didn't show up as prominent (I blame the not-so-authentic condensed milk I got, next time I'll deff try to make my own). Overall, would deff try this again with reduced sugar and more cocoa powder. Yes I used Van Houten dutch cocoa powder, but I think it can use more of it. Thanks Adam! Really appreciate your in-depth instruction and experiment :)
Buddy. I’ve made these like 10 separate times and they are AMAZING. The texture is 100% perfect. I made a few tweaks: my wife likes the sweeter things in life so I went with regular cocoa powder and an extra 10 grams of sugar. I also left out the molasses since I didn’t have it the first time. Lastly, I swapped the vanilla for orange extract. 2 tsp like the vanilla works just fine.
Tried this tonight and it was an absolute success! Lots of repeat costumers and I made it gooey just the way I like it. Usually it's very hard to find gooey brownies since they're usually premade and dry out by the time you eat them. This is my go-to recipe from now on, thanks Adam!
I made this with some slight modifications, as my partner is gluten free and she loves brownies. I subbed the all purpose flour directly with almond flour, that's it, and they came out chewy, delicious and absolutely perfectly. I cannot recommend these enough!!!
made them with king arthur’s measure for measure gf flour and they were amazing. probably a more analogous texture to the original than with almond flour, but i do like almond flour in my baked goods too.
Made these yesterday. Turned out amazingly, exactly like in the video and I followed step for step. Mine turned out a bit thicker because my brownie pan is slightly smaller, but they still retained their chewy consistency. I was worried that my powdered sugar was a bit clumpy - I could still see specs of undissolved powdered sugar, but still got the flakey top layer. When I do this again I'll likely sift the sugar so it incorporates more easily. Awesome recipe
This is my tenth brownie recipe. I don't understand how people say chewy and it's just raw fudgy texture. This one is perfect. FINALLY! Thanks so much.
I didn't have a 9"/23cm square pan, but a couple of round pans. One of them (ø: 10"/26cm) has the almost exactly same area as the square pan so I was happy I didn't have to recalculate the ratios in the recipe to achieve the same thickness. Just a heads up to anyone frustrated they don't have the correct pan size! :)
Brownies looked incredible and I'm really tempted to try making these, but seeing the amount of sugar that is actually used in the the baking process for desserts is always a bit off-putting :/
anything storebought is gonna use a horrifyingly larger amount of sugar than anything you make at home. this goes even for stuff that shouldn't have sugar in it in the first place.
@@1TieDye1 You can always just decrease the sugar amount to your liking. The only thing that could maybe be worse is the top, maybe it wouldn’t be as good as if you used all of it.
Another good tip on how to get baking paper to stay in pans is to crump it up and then uncrumple it and put it into the pan. As the crumpling helps it stay in the pan.
Made the thin chewy version on a whim, don't think I truly browned the butter but it was still a really delicious brownie! Very choclatey, even without adding in more chocolate chips. For my oven, it ended up taking exactly 30 minutes to get that slightly fudgy, more chewy point in Adam's video. Next time I make it I'll try being a bit less shy with browning the butter, and add some flaky salt on top like some other commenters have said.
We made some and they came out fantastic!!! Thank you. We used the Cakey version and added less cocoa powder 1/4 cup, about 1/4 tsp expresso powder and added the chocolate chips 1 cup.
For me these had nearly the exact flavor and chewiness as eating a Tootsie roll! Took me forever to place what the sensation + flavor reminded me of. I did use bread flower + bake a little longer trying to go for maximum chewiness which might have something to do with it
I’ve been making these since this video came out and I can’t look at or eat other brownies without wishing they were these brownies 😂😂I don’t think I’ll ever try another recipe they’re like actually superior brownies lol
Making this recipe again reminded me of the best reason to use weight vs customary measures, it's so much easier to scale. In Canada our cans of sweetened condensed milk are smaller(300vs 400 in the states) and it's much easier to take 3/4 of 50g vs 1/2cup
You can never go wrong with adding coffee to a chocolate flavored dish. Slightly coffee flavored chocolate is like chocolate on crack. Instant coffee is the MSG of chocolate dishes.
So, about the recipe. I've made these and I have few thoughts. On chewy / cakey scale they are extremely chewy, I mean they almost more like a candy than a cake. It's pretty sweet, but if you use cocoa powder plus dark chocolate (I melted the chocolate into the batter) it is well balanced. Yeah, and they are very, very rich. Pretty amazing, if you're into that.
I made these tonight, I had everything on hand. For anyone wondering, these taste like homemade lil Debbie cosmic brownies. If you dig that texture but want a less artificial taste, these are your jam. Too sweet and not enough cocoa for me
I made them too and I also thought they were just a teeny bit too sweet for me. I think I’m gonna try using Hershey’s special Dark cocoa powder next time, and adding a lil extra! And slightly less powdered sugar. But overall a really good recipe
I agree. They're not bad, I'm sure some people will love them, but it's not for me. I'll stick with the recipe I've been using prior to trying this one.
omg i made the cakey version and they are chewy yet soft THE CORNERS ARE SO GOOD and they have like kinda hints that remind me of toffee from the condensed milk and the brown butter omg u need these in ur life
OK, I made them. I took the instant espresso powder advice because hellllllls to the yeah. They were by far the best brownies I've ever made. It'll definitely be the basis of my own brownie recipe moving forward. The batter was soooo fudgie. My kids like their brownies topped so I hooked them up with some ganache. Adam, you beautiful man, thank you. My kitchen skills have really been stepping up since I ran into your channel.
The recipe looks very yummy, but in case you are curious how many calories in there, I made a program for quick calculation and the whole brownie turned out 3780 divided by 9pcs its 420 cal. per piece.
Awesome recipe, brownies came out fudgy and nicely chewy, however the sweetness for me at least is a little much, so unless you're a big fan of sugar, I would recommend lowering the amount of sugar somehow
I think these were awesome but yes a little too sweet. I’m gonna try a little more cocoa , and use Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder instead. And a little less powdered sugar. I think I may also chop up a really dark chocolate bar, or use very dark chocolate chips, and add them to the batter
Replaced the condensed milk with dulce de leche. Gave it the same caramely punch of the molasses and didn't change the texture. My family loved this recipe!
I made these today and they were delicious. However, next time I am adding more cocoa powder. I like a darker chocolate and these didn't taste very chocolatey to me. I did love the sweet creamy flavor from the sweetened condensed milk though. I also had to sub almond extract for the vanilla as I didn't realise my vanilla was running low and used up the last of the vanilla just before making these in apple streusel muffins. So mine had an almond almost amaretto like taste to them.
@@tbarbuto2345 I did not use Dutch process cocoa powder. While Dutch process makes a darker cocoa powder, it is just a color difference. Dutch process cocoa powder is actually more mellow in flavor than a standard cocoa powder.
Hey all, I gave the wrong weight for the flour in the vid. 3/4 cup = 90g, not 160g. I confused it with the sugar (which is heavier) when doing my math. The recipe in the description is corrected!

@@IndigoGollum It's a real TH-camr. He's some German guy that makes super cringe videos
I've made this recipe about a dozen times since this video has dropped. The corners and edges will make you shit your pants it's so good. Also once I bought the molasses and started adding some in there, it's a game changing brownie.
Any tips?
you make the chewy ones or the cakey ones
@@christellecastillo9919 Make with cannabutter. Make with a minimum of 3.5G pot per stick of butter or per batch of brownies. Dose at 32 squares per batch. go to the moon whilst in your yard. Enjoy.

My goodness, I can only imagine how many brownies this household has been tempted with lately. My arteries would be flowing with chocolate by now if it were me. In a good way.

It's simply not possible for that to be in a bad way
@@PurtyPurple The good kind of diabetus.
@@TheSlavChef Insulin? Bah!
@@PurtyPurple Vodka is better!
Followed this recipe the other day and can confirm that it is amazing! I ended up not using chocolate chips.
The flavor is intense. I've always loved condensed milk so I had a good feeling about this one just from watching.
One of the best reasons to make this over a boxed recipe is that it stays moist for several days. After it cooled, I put my leftovers into an airtight sealed plastic bag and it still tastes great 3 days later or so. In my experience with boxed brownies, they tend to start drying out the next day.

Hi Adam, I gave these a try last weekend. Half way through making them I realized that I didn’t have eggs, so I ended up just eating the butter, coco, condensed milk, and sugar with a spoon. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Hey, that shot at the beginning where you placed the can of condensed milk into the space you took the brownie out of was cool!
100% make these. You won’t regret it. I followed the recipe exactly with the addition of a pretzel crust (1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 stick melted butter - combine and press into bottom of pan, baking for 10 minutes) it was - by far- the best thing I have baked in a very long time.
Oh, and I did add the suggested sprinkling of instant coffee, which intensifies the chocolate flavor.
Adam: mentions "tiny whisk"
Babish: "Am I a joke to you?"
Also the mention of espresso powder.
Sigh, now I want a Ragusea/Babish collab.
I made a triple portion today for my entire student home, everybody loved it! Thanks a lot!
Made this about 6-7 times,can confirm that it’s one of the best brownie recipes out there

I tried this recipe and it is delicious! I didn’t have powdered sugar so i used 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar and i still got a nice brownie skin. The flavour the caramelized butter gives it is unreal!!
Finally I found baking/cooking TH-camr that I like ,put the recipe in the video and description not only that but they explain it as well instantly subscribed
I never knew that this brownie series would benefit me in such ways...
Amazing. Just amaaaaazziiiing. I made double the recipe because I only have an 9x13in pan. I made the cake version but instead of 2 eggs, I used 1 XL egg with 1 egg yolk. I used both semi sweet and white chocolate chips, stirred in and sprinkle on top before baking. So fudgy, with a beautiful skin. The edges are the best. I gave some to my in laws, pretty sure I earned some brownie points here hehe.
ETA: baked them 47min for double the recipe, but my oven is old so if you double the recipe I would check them at 42min mark. I also measured my dry ingredient with a scale. Using cups to measure flour, cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a brownie recipe is not a gamble I would risk.
Me, three days ago: "Man, I can't believe Adam Ragusea is doing a two-part special for brownies!"
Me, today: "Man, I can't believe Adam Ragusea is doing a three-part special for brownies!"
I made these with and without espresso powder, I recommend the espresso powder. It just brings out the chocolate flavours so much more. But It also is better if you let it toast for a second with the cocoa powder
@Gavin In a day. I used my family as lab rats lol.
@Gavin haha, I bake and cook a lot for my family and I'm sure I'm going to give them diabetes. I don't think I'll be the favourite then.
How did it go? I’m looking to try this during the weekend or after.
@@dvorak826 They are really good, both with and without the espresso powder. I say definitely make these.
Hey did you use instant espresso powder or actually espresso beans grounded up? I also wanna do an espresso version, but I only have the ground espresso coffee beans. So not sure if it's gonna work or be too strong and one has to bite into pieces of beans haha
HOLY LORDY THAT'S CHEWY!!! I just made these. Adam has delivered on his promise.
For all those Canadians out there, our cans of condensed milk are 300g... That's fine. No need to break open the next can to make it up. Turned out just fine. I put a little bit more powdered sugar, but pretty sure I didn't need to. Also: sift the powered sugar. I thought the clumps would all just dissolve... They mostly did, but make your life easier.
Thanks Adam!

After many, many batches of this thing, I have to say that it got me many praises from many people.
What I've done above things mentioned in the recipe is:
- addition of instant coffee or chilly peppers
- always some good dusting of Maldon salt crystals on top!
Thank you so much for telling measurements in grams as well. As an expat living abroad for a long while now I have switched and greatly appreciate it!
Sponsorship Transition Report:
Very smooth transition. Caught me off-guard. Comparing the consistency of the rich brownie batter to honey and thusly transitioning to the Honey sponsorship portion was simply a work of genius. Additionally, the Honey text falling from the pan with the brownie batter was the cherry on top. Again, wonderful work and deserving of praise.
Overall Rating:
10/10
This is literally the brownie I DREAM of. (Yes, I dream of brownies!) Perfect texture, wonderfully chocolatey, sweetness is just right for my taste. I did add a good pinch of Maldon salt to the top before baking, but I add that to just about everything I bake.
THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!
damn hell yes!! I'll add pink salt to the top of my next batch thank you for this little nugget info

I tried this recipe, added expresso powder and white chocolate chips, and it was insanely good!!! They were gone in a single day and my family isn't known for eating sweets, but everyone loved these! Can't recomend it enough and I'm sure I'll make more of these in the future, thank you Adam!!
Just made this recipe (thin chewy version) and I must say, this is not like any other brownie recipe I've ever tried.
I've made some alterations and few things didn't go well:
- I'm using salted dutch butter in a can (they're more buttery) and I still added 1/4 tsp of table salt bcs of the sugar in this recipe. It turned out great and not salty at all.
- This was the first time I've made brown butter. I thought I burned the butter since it took me long to shift the cocoa in (next time I'll be sure to shift all ingredients beforehand). I added 1 tsp of instant coffee powder (not espresso) and after it smelled like toasty caramel. Happy to tell you that it wasn't burnt at all.
- Since I don't have good quality vanilla extract and molasses, I didn't put them and swab it with 5 drops of peppermint extract. I love them so it's a nice refreshing touch.
- I mistook flour and sugar so I added flour in first (hey, they have the same color don't judge) and proceeded to add sugar and other ingredients. Since it came out well I can say this recipe is pretty forgiving.
- I only got 23.5cm and 8 inch pan, and I used the former since I don't want it to bake longer. It came out pretty thin but I'm not complaining.
- I used the metric measurement and didn't change any of them. For me, it's sweet, but just right (I've tasted more recipes that were too overly sweet). It's not chocolatey tho, more like caramel-y. If I break it apart I can see thin strings of caramel forming which is cool.
- The consistency of this brownie is an interesting one. You can mush it together like a playdough. It's wet, doesn't have any dry part at all. It got papery top but mine didn't show up as prominent (I blame the not-so-authentic condensed milk I got, next time I'll deff try to make my own).
Overall, would deff try this again with reduced sugar and more cocoa powder. Yes I used Van Houten dutch cocoa powder, but I think it can use more of it.
Thanks Adam! Really appreciate your in-depth instruction and experiment :)
Buddy. I’ve made these like 10 separate times and they are AMAZING. The texture is 100% perfect. I made a few tweaks: my wife likes the sweeter things in life so I went with regular cocoa powder and an extra 10 grams of sugar. I also left out the molasses since I didn’t have it the first time. Lastly, I swapped the vanilla for orange extract. 2 tsp like the vanilla works just fine.
Tried this tonight and it was an absolute success! Lots of repeat costumers and I made it gooey just the way I like it.
Usually it's very hard to find gooey brownies since they're usually premade and dry out by the time you eat them.
This is my go-to recipe from now on, thanks Adam!
I made this with some slight modifications, as my partner is gluten free and she loves brownies. I subbed the all purpose flour directly with almond flour, that's it, and they came out chewy, delicious and absolutely perfectly. I cannot recommend these enough!!!
Is she gluten free by choice or she has the disease that doesn't let her eat it?
made them with king arthur’s measure for measure gf flour and they were amazing. probably a more analogous texture to the original than with almond flour, but i do like almond flour in my baked goods too.
I made this for my family yesterday and they were delicious!!!
Chewy, soft, tasty and a bit moisty
Best brownie recipe I've ever used
Made these yesterday. Turned out amazingly, exactly like in the video and I followed step for step. Mine turned out a bit thicker because my brownie pan is slightly smaller, but they still retained their chewy consistency. I was worried that my powdered sugar was a bit clumpy - I could still see specs of undissolved powdered sugar, but still got the flakey top layer. When I do this again I'll likely sift the sugar so it incorporates more easily. Awesome recipe
This is my tenth brownie recipe. I don't understand how people say chewy and it's just raw fudgy texture. This one is perfect. FINALLY! Thanks so much.

The legends says if you make a pentagram with tiny whisks, Andrew will appear in your kitchen!
@Simply Maplee no
I didn't have a 9"/23cm square pan, but a couple of round pans. One of them (ø: 10"/26cm) has the almost exactly same area as the square pan so I was happy I didn't have to recalculate the ratios in the recipe to achieve the same thickness. Just a heads up to anyone frustrated they don't have the correct pan size! :)
Ah great! I actually also only have one like this and I just try it out if it wokrs.
4:57 I just love the way he says future.
Brownies looked incredible and I'm really tempted to try making these, but seeing the amount of sugar that is actually used in the the baking process for desserts is always a bit off-putting :/
I usually am the same but its 9 portions and these are so rich you wouldn't want more than one a day
anything storebought is gonna use a horrifyingly larger amount of sugar than anything you make at home. this goes even for stuff that shouldn't have sugar in it in the first place.
Agreed. I was going to try this recipe but it’s soooo much sugar. This recipe is especially egregious tb
@@1TieDye1 You can always just decrease the sugar amount to your liking. The only thing that could maybe be worse is the top, maybe it wouldn’t be as good as if you used all of it.
Don't listen to the comments suggesting that you reduce the sugar. Tried it both ways and this exact recipe is way better
Another good tip on how to get baking paper to stay in pans is to crump it up and then uncrumple it and put it into the pan. As the crumpling helps it stay in the pan.
Made the thin chewy version on a whim, don't think I truly browned the butter but it was still a really delicious brownie! Very choclatey, even without adding in more chocolate chips. For my oven, it ended up taking exactly 30 minutes to get that slightly fudgy, more chewy point in Adam's video.
Next time I make it I'll try being a bit less shy with browning the butter, and add some flaky salt on top like some other commenters have said.
I always appreciate that smoothness in the script when transitioning to the sponsor.

"Oh a tiny whisk is extremely useful for this"
Binging with Babish: _YOU CALLED??_
Boy Adam you just jump right in to the recipe don't ya? No elevator muzak, no cheesy stock pics, very nice....
We made some and they came out fantastic!!! Thank you. We used the Cakey version and added less cocoa powder 1/4 cup, about 1/4 tsp expresso powder and added the chocolate chips 1 cup.
For me these had nearly the exact flavor and chewiness as eating a Tootsie roll! Took me forever to place what the sensation + flavor reminded me of. I did use bread flower + bake a little longer trying to go for maximum chewiness which might have something to do with it
I’ve been making these since this video came out and I can’t look at or eat other brownies without wishing they were these brownies 😂😂I don’t think I’ll ever try another recipe they’re like actually superior brownies lol
I have converted people with these brownies.
Making this recipe again reminded me of the best reason to use weight vs customary measures, it's so much easier to scale. In Canada our cans of sweetened condensed milk are smaller(300vs 400 in the states) and it's much easier to take 3/4 of 50g vs 1/2cup
You can never go wrong with adding coffee to a chocolate flavored dish. Slightly coffee flavored chocolate is like chocolate on crack. Instant coffee is the MSG of chocolate dishes.
true!
So, about the recipe. I've made these and I have few thoughts. On chewy / cakey scale they are extremely chewy, I mean they almost more like a candy than a cake. It's pretty sweet, but if you use cocoa powder plus dark chocolate (I melted the chocolate into the batter) it is well balanced. Yeah, and they are very, very rich. Pretty amazing, if you're into that.
This is my holy grail brownie recipe. The one I have been searching for my whole life. Thank you!
Even his thicc and cakey version honestly looks like a lot of fudgy brownies out there lol (which is a good thing of course).
I made these tonight, I had everything on hand. For anyone wondering, these taste like homemade lil Debbie cosmic brownies. If you dig that texture but want a less artificial taste, these are your jam. Too sweet and not enough cocoa for me
I made them too and I also thought they were just a teeny bit too sweet for me. I think I’m gonna try using Hershey’s special Dark cocoa powder next time, and adding a lil extra! And slightly less powdered sugar. But overall a really good recipe
For those who care, I tried these again using Hershey’s special dark cocoa instead of regular cocoa. And they were incredible! not too sweet!
I agree. They're not bad, I'm sure some people will love them, but it's not for me. I'll stick with the recipe I've been using prior to trying this one.
Can I replace the egg with yogurt for eggless version?
@@Nicole-dz7sz hey, would u mind sharing ur recipe?
omg i made the cakey version and they are chewy yet soft THE CORNERS ARE SO GOOD and they have like kinda hints that remind me of toffee from the condensed milk and the brown butter omg u need these in ur life
"tiny whisk is extremely useful..."
**Babish has entered the chat**
OK, I made them. I took the instant espresso powder advice because hellllllls to the yeah. They were by far the best brownies I've ever made. It'll definitely be the basis of my own brownie recipe moving forward. The batter was soooo fudgie. My kids like their brownies topped so I hooked them up with some ganache. Adam, you beautiful man, thank you. My kitchen skills have really been stepping up since I ran into your channel.
FYI to new bakers -- the condensed milk will break if you add it to the pot when it is too hot. I learned this the hard way...
I'm on the baking stage of these and goddamn it old man Ragusea, you got me licking spoons like they owe me money. God DAMN.
These shits got a grown-ass man moaning shirtless in his kitchen. TRY THEM.
@@flmalegre LOL
Glad I have something to look forward too when I get home from work
The recipe looks very yummy, but in case you are curious how many calories in there, I made a program for quick calculation and the whole brownie turned out 3780 divided by 9pcs its 420 cal. per piece.
Awesome recipe Adam! Made them for my guests who came to my house , and they loved it so much !
I love how Adam knows how to implement these sponsors without us even knowing when it comes
as a Brazilian, tell me there is condensed milk in it and I'm sold! This recipe has to be perfect!!! 🤩
Awesome recipe, brownies came out fudgy and nicely chewy, however the sweetness for me at least is a little much, so unless you're a big fan of sugar, I would recommend lowering the amount of sugar somehow
I think these were awesome but yes a little too sweet. I’m gonna try a little more cocoa , and use Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder instead. And a little less powdered sugar. I think I may also chop up a really dark chocolate bar, or use very dark chocolate chips, and add them to the batter
This sponsor's bit transition was smooth af. Long live the empire
Replaced the condensed milk with dulce de leche. Gave it the same caramely punch of the molasses and didn't change the texture. My family loved this recipe!
That sounds good
I made these today and they were delicious. However, next time I am adding more cocoa powder. I like a darker chocolate and these didn't taste very chocolatey to me. I did love the sweet creamy flavor from the sweetened condensed milk though. I also had to sub almond extract for the vanilla as I didn't realise my vanilla was running low and used up the last of the vanilla just before making these in apple streusel muffins. So mine had an almond almost amaretto like taste to them.
Did you use dutch cocoa?
@@tbarbuto2345 I did not use Dutch process cocoa powder. While Dutch process makes a darker cocoa powder, it is just a color difference. Dutch process cocoa powder is actually more mellow in flavor than a standard cocoa powder.
Well now I've got something new to try yet again! Thanks, Adam.
