If you’re a fan of Indian halwas and also love the gooey decadence of brownies, then Brownie Halwa is the ultimate dessert mash-up you need to try! 🥄
This modern fusion dessert takes the fudgy base of brownies and transforms it into a halwa-style preparation—warm, soft, melt-in-the-mouth, and bursting with chocolaty richness. Topped with crunchy nuts and a hint of ghee, it’s the perfect indulgence for celebrations like Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, or house parties.
The best part? You can make it with leftover brownies or prepare fresh brownies just for this recipe. Either way, it’s a no-fuss dish that delivers maximum flavor.
Prepare the Base
Crumble brownies into a bowl.
Heat ghee in a non-stick pan, roast chopped nuts until golden, then remove for garnish.
Make the Halwa
In the same pan, add brownie crumbs and roast lightly in ghee.
Add warm milk gradually, stirring until it absorbs and forms a soft halwa consistency.
Mix in sugar and cocoa powder. Stir well until it thickens.
Add chopped dark chocolate and mix until melted into the halwa.
Flavor & Finish
Sprinkle cardamom powder for an Indian touch.
Top with roasted nuts, choco chips, and a drizzle of ghee.
Serve warm, garnished with silver vark if making for festivals.
