Gooey Thermomix Chocolate Caramel Brownie

My gooey Thermomic chocolate caramel brownie has everything you could want in a decadent dessert! The ultimate dense, brownie recipe, with explosions of caramel and crunchy walnuts.  This is a recipe you need in your life.

I’ve always wanted to spend a year living in Paris.  I could spend days perfecting my high school French, going to the market and eating out with my lovely husband.  I imagine sipping red wine in sophisticated wine bars and indulging my sweet tooth in all the chic French Patisseries. The experience would be a complete immersion in “La vie française” (the French life).

Given that I love all things French, it’s not surprising that I am constantly inspired by Chef David Lebovits.  I have quite a few of his books including  “The Sweet Life in Paris” which is where I first came across this Chocolate Caramel Brownie recipe.

The Sweet Life In Paris

“The Sweet Life in Paris” tells the story of David’s relationship with the city and people of Paris, as he moves from San Francisco to take up residence with his French partner.  The book gives a very honest portrayal of the cross-cultural difficulties and the subtle differences he experienced as he transitioned from “L’American” to “Le Parisien”.

Throughout the book, David shares recipes to go along with the story.  He describes these brownies as having the ability to “help open some doors” for him in Paris. Not only did the book offer a glimpse into my Parisian fantasy life, but it shared some delicious recipes to go along with the story. 

Today I’m sharing Davids famous recipe for Dulce de Leche Brownies. I’ve reproduced this Chocolate Caramel Brownie recipe from “The Sweet Life in Paris” by David Lebovitz and adapted it for use with the Thermomix.

Another of my favourite David Lebovitz books is “The Perfect Scoop” This book is filled with delicious ice-cream flavours, toppings and cones. Anyone that has taken a look through the recipes on this site would realise I have a BIG soft spot for ice-cream!

Caramel Brownie Recipe Tips

Chocolate Type:

Even if you’re not a fan of dark chocolate you need to trust me and use dark chocolate. Milk chocolate will not give the same depth of flavour. I recommend using dark chocolate with 35%  cacao solids.  Dark chocolate which has 35% cocoa solids is commonly known as bittersweet chocolate.

If you don’t usually like dark chocolate don’t be tempted to buy a 70% cocoa solids chocolate as the result will be a more acidic tasting and bitter brownie. Ideally, dark chocolate should be between 35-60%  for the best results.

Storage: 

These Chocolate caramel brownies will keep well for up to 3 days at room temperature. However, I prefer to keep them in the fridge where they will last for two weeks. If a longer storage period is required freeze the brownie for up to two months.

Baking:

Bake the brownie for 35 to 45 minutes.  The batter is cooked when the centre feels just slightly firm. Try not to overcook the batter as it will lose some of its moist deliciousness.
