Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Cookies
- 7 Oreos (crushed, divided into 5 for batter and 2 for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and white chocolate chips. Heat for 30 seconds, stir well, then microwave again in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth without burning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, sweetened condensed milk, and salt to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Oreo Pieces: Fold in the all-purpose flour gently, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter. Then, fold in 5 of the crushed Oreos evenly through the batter.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 2 crushed Oreos evenly on top for decoration and extra crunch. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top turns light brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, indicating a gooey center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares and serving to let the flavors and texture set perfectly.
Notes
- Do not overbake to maintain a gooey center.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- If white chocolate seizes, try melting it with a teaspoon of butter to smooth it out.
- For a crunchier top, place the Oreos on top right before baking as directed.
