A quick and easy no-bake brownie recipe that delivers rich, fudgy, and chocolatey treats perfect for busy days without heating up the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (175g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Line your 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips and softened butter together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, then add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until uniform in color and texture.
  5. Fold in optional chopped nuts or extras gently.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm to the touch.
  8. Slice into squares and serve. For best texture, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Melt chocolate carefully to avoid seizing. Chill brownies for at least 2 hours for best fudgy texture. Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean cuts. Can speed up chilling by placing in freezer for 45 minutes but avoid freezing solid. Let brownies sit at room temperature 10 minutes before serving for softer texture.
