Common Questions About Condensed Milk Brownies
How Do I Get That Fudgy Texture?
The condensed milk and the butter are your secret weapons! These ensure that the brownies are far from cakey and hit the right fudgy notes.
Why Do I Need to Brown the Butter?
Browning the butter brings out a nutty flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly. Trust me, it’s worth the extra step. It’s little things like these that make all the difference in leveling up your brownies!
Do I Need an Electric Mixer for the Batter?
Nope! A large bowl and a good old whisk or rubber spatula will do the job. In fact, overmixing can mess up your brownies, so hand mixing is the best way to go.
Storage
I typically like to keep my brownies on the counter if I have leftovers. That way they don’t get forgotten like leftovers do so often!
Refrigerator
Store the brownies in an airtight container to keep them moist and fresh for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer
Wrap individual brownies in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They can last up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them!
