Description

These Ferrero Rocher Fudge Brownies are an ultra-rich and decadent dessert that combines fudgy chocolate brownies with swirls of chocolate hazelnut spread and chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates for a luxurious treat.


Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling and Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chopped chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next steps.
  3. Mix Sugars and Eggs: Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to incorporate air and create a smooth batter, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  5. Fold Dry into Wet: Gently fold the flour mixture into the chocolate batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fudgy texture.
  6. Layer Batter and Filling: Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate hazelnut spread over the batter and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle half of the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates over the top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Top with Remaining Batter and Chocolates: Spread the remaining brownie batter evenly over the filling layer. Top with the remaining chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates and chocolate chips for a decadent finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted yields moist crumbs. Do not overbake to maintain fudginess.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This ensures clean, neat brownies and allows the flavors to set perfectly.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to set as they cool.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
