Nutella Fudge Brownies

Nutella fudge brownies are a delightful treat that combines rich, gooey chocolate brownie with the irresistible hazelnut spread. These brownies boast a dense, fudgy texture, enhanced by a layer of creamy Nutella fudge, which adds an extra layer of indulgence. When baked, the edges become slightly chewy while the center remains soft and luscious, creating a perfect balance. Topped with a dusting of icing sugar or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they are the ultimate dessert for any chocolate lover. Whether enjoyed on a quiet afternoon or served at a gathering, Nutella fudge brownies are sure to impress and satisfy.

How to assemble the Nutella Fudge Brownies:

1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth over into an even layer using a spatula.

2. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a wooden skewer, and a few moist crumbs are on it. Allow to cool fully.

3. Place all the fudge ingredients in a microwaveable bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (stirring in-between) until fully melted and combined.

4. Evenly spread the fudge all over the brownie. Refrigerate until the fudge layer is set.

5. Carefully remove the brownie from the pan and allow to sit for about 15 minutes, this will soften the fudge slightly to make the slicing process easier.

6. Slice up and enjoy!

Baking Tips:

• Don’t overmix: Overmixing the brownie batter can lead to a final product that is both dense and dry, ultimately compromising the deliciously fudgy texture that we all love in a good brownie.

• Don’t overbake: If you want to achieve fudgy and moist brownies that have a deliciously rich texture, I highly recommend under-baking them just slightly. This little trick can make a significant difference in the final product!

• Serving: Since you need to refrigerate the slice to help the fudge layer set properly, it can make the slicing process a little more difficult. To make things easier, I recommend allowing it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before you start slicing it up. This way, the Nutella fudge will soften slightly, making for a much smoother and more enjoyable experience when cutting through the layers.
