Ingredients:
- 350 grams of Nutella or any hazelnut cream spread (peanut butter can also be used as an alternative)
- 4 room-temperature eggs
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 170 grams of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line a 20 x 20 cm baking mold with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared mold, then spread the Nutella evenly over the batter. Cover with the remaining brownie batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the mold before slicing into squares. This is crucial for achieving the perfect fudge texture.
Enjoy these Decadent Nutella-Stuffed Fudge Brownies, a truly luxurious treat that promises to transport you to chocolate heaven with every bite!
