Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you’re looking for an easy and festive dessert to make tonight, you have come to the right place. Mexican hot chocolate is a favorite flavor profile of mine–cinnamon, vanilla, and the heat of cayenne combine with chocolate SO beautifully. I love working that flavor profile into more than just hot chocolate. These Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies with Dulce de Leche are rich, decadent, and sure to be a hit with your family.
The brownies and the dulce de leche are both incredibly easy to make, using simple ingredients you probably have on hand. I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies with Dulce de Leche
Ingredients
- 1 cup melted butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 TBS cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
For the Dulce de Leche
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Add all brownie ingredients except chocolate chips to a large bowl and whisk together until well combined. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter in a greased or parchment lined 9x13 pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a glass container, such as a mason jar. Place in a larger, microwave safe container filled with water that reaches about halfway up the side of the container with the condensed milk. Microwave for 2 minutes at 50% power. Remove and stir. Continue in this fashion until the sauce has thickened enough to coat a spoon but still be drizzled and has darkened to a light caramel color.

Enjoy!
