Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup white chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips)
1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (crucial for consistency)
1 pinch salt (use kosher salt for a rounded taste)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
10 pieces Oreos (crushed; any chocolate sandwich cookie works)
5 pieces more crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8″x8″ baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
Step 3: Combine the melted mixture with the egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until fully combined.
Step 4: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Fold in 5 crushed Oreos into the batter for added texture.
Step 6: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos evenly over the top for extra crunch.
Step 8: Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least one hour before slicing.
Step 10: Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
Use gluten-free flour blend to make these brownies gluten-free without sacrificing texture.
For an even richer flavor, swap white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips.
Press a few whole Oreos into the top of the batter before baking for a striking presentation.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, warm in a microwave for 10-15 seconds to regain their fudgy texture. These brownies also freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular white chocolate instead of chips?

Yes, you can chop white chocolate bars into small pieces and use them in place of chips. Just be sure to melt them gently to avoid burning.

Why do the brownies need sweetened condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed milk adds moisture and sweetness while creating a dense, fudgy texture that’s key to these brownies. It also helps bind the ingredients together smoothly.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal.
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients: To the melted butter and chocolate, add one large egg (or flax egg) along with the sweetened condensed milk and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir vigorously to combine all ingredients well.
Add Flour: Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture in the brownies.

Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top evenly with a spatula.
Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos on top of the batter for an added crunchy texture on the surface.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, indicating a fudgy texture.
Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour to set properly.
Slice and Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice them into squares and serve, enjoying the rich, creamy, and crunchy cookies and cream delight.
