Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Melt butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine white miso paste, heavy cream, and light brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the miso caramel over the brownie batter in the pan. Gently swirl the caramel into the batter using a knife or skewer.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel, spreading it to cover. Dollop more caramel on top and swirl again.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra salty-sweet kick, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top of the brownies before baking.
- Ensure your white miso paste is smooth and lump-free for the best caramel consistency.
- Letting the brownies cool completely is key to achieving that perfect fudgy texture.
