Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Incorporate 1 cup of flour and powdered sugar until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly in your prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition. Incorporate vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- In separate bowls, combine 3/4 cup flour, cocoa powder, and remaining salt, then gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined. Pour the brownie batter over the cooled shortbread crust in the pan.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt heavy cream with dark chocolate chips. Stir in melted butter and corn syrup until smooth. Pour ganache over cooled brownies and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before chilling.
