Miso Caramel Soy Sauce Brownies are rich, fudgy brownies swirled with miso caramel and enhanced with soy sauce for deep chocolate flavor and savory-sweet complexity.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the miso caramel:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. To make the miso caramel: In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium without stirring until the mixture turns deep amber.
  2. Carefully add heavy cream (it will bubble), stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in miso paste and butter until fully combined. Let cool slightly.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  5. In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  6. Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy and well blended.
  7. Add soy sauce and mix to combine.
  8. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
  9. Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Spoon dollops of miso caramel over the batter and swirl with a knife or skewer.
  11. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  12. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use white (shiro) miso for best flavor balance in desserts.
  • Let the brownies cool completely to help them set and cut cleanly.
  • Brownies taste even better the next day as flavors develop.
