These fudgy no-bake brownies are so easy to make with graham crackers and condensed milk. They are chewy and eggless too. Always a hit with the kids. Makes great edible gifts!
Break graham crackers roughly and process in a food Processor until sand like.
Place condensed milk in a big bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to loosen up.
Add in the cocoa powder and vanilla and stir until smooth and lump free.
Fold in the cracker crumbs.
Stir until mixed well.
Double line a 8” square pan with parchment paper for easy removal of brownie layer on.
Dab some oil on your finger before pressing the crumb mixture into the pan to avoid sticking.
Blob the mixture into the pan and press it down with your fingers until leveled.
Cover it with a lid or foil and place it in the fridge (not freezer) to chill.
Now prepare the ganache layer.
In a small bowl add all ingredients for bittersweet chocolate layer.
Microwave for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir.
It won’t melt this time.
Repeat microwaving again for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir until chocolate has melted and becomes a smooth lump free sauce.
If not melted repeat at 10 second interval.
For white chocolate swirl-
In another bowl add in white Chocolate and cream.
Microwave for 1 minute on 50% power stopping mid way and stirring.
Remove the bowl and stir until chocolate has melted and becomes a smooth lump free sauce.
Layering the brownies -
Take out the brownie from the fridge.
Top it with chocolate ganache.
Spread evenly.
Put blobs of white chocolate over the ganache.
Pass a toothpick or a knife on the top layer to create marble effect , not cutting through the brownie.
Just swirl randomly on the top as shown in the photo.
