Recipe Directions
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
2. Make the Brownie Batter:
-
Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
-
Stir in sugar, then whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
-
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt; fold gently until combined.
3. Make the Miso Caramel:
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar without stirring until it turns a deep amber color (swirl pan occasionally).
-
Add butter carefully (it will bubble), whisk until melted.
-
Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking, then remove from heat and stir in miso paste until smooth.
4. Assemble and Bake:
-
Pour half the brownie batter into the pan.
-
Drizzle half the miso caramel over it.
-
Repeat with remaining batter and caramel.
-
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel into the batter.
-
Bake 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
