Salted caramel chocolate skillet brownie recipe (2024)

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownie mixed with gooey caramel cheese and served with caramel ice-cream – this is the ultimate salted caramel chocolate skillet brownie. Sweet and salty, this brownie will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings like no other brownies you’ve tried before.

Think outside the cerealboxand kill the cliché were two of the many discussion topics this year at Eat Write Retreat, my very first hands-on food blogger conference. A month later the voices of our wonderful speakers are stillon my head and will be for a while.

The key speaker, the amazing Monica Bhide, focused on “finding your voice” when writing a blog post. If baking and photography may come a little easiernow, after 2 years of blogging, food writing is something Istruggle every single day. For me, writing a blog post, on a good day, takes about 2-3 hours, on most days it’s it may take up to 10 hours and still not coming up with anything worth publishing. Not to mention I’m so easily distracted.

While I’m searching high and low for my voice I figured I do something I’m pretty good at. Rich chocolate desserts. As in a rich fudgy salted caramel chocolate skillet brownie with caramel ice-cream. And not just any kind of skillet brownie, but one that’s outside the cereal bowl.

At Eat Write Retreat we all had the opportunity to try food products the generous sponsors brought, such as Jarlsberg cheese and one type of cheese I was not familiar with Gjetost*. Absolutely everyone I talked with raved about this caramel cheese.

If you are like me and haven’t heard of Gjetost before, your world is about to change forever! This cheese is nothing like you’ve ever tasted before. It’s more judge than cheese. Think salted caramel fudge. Think salted dulce de leche fudge.

Before I even tried the cheese I knew what I wanted to bake with it. I have a weakness for cheese and paired with chocolate is even better. After all, my absolute chocolate dessert is chocolate cheesecake.

So far I’ve tried baking with Gjetost twice. The first time I diced it and added it to the brownie batter and, to my surprise, I realized it doesn’t melt like a caramel candy.Ooeygooey small pieces of salted deliciousness as shown in the photo below.

The second time, I melted the cheese before mixing it with other ingredients. The recipe will follow in a couple of weeks, can’t tell you much right now.

To stay outside the cereal bowl I opted to bake the brownie in a skillet, not exactly the cast iron skillet most of the recipes call for, but the Calphalon unison nonstick 8″ omelette pan* I received at Eat Write Retreat.

Whoever said an omelette pan is just for eggs was so wrong!

I absolutely love Calphalon products and have been thinking of making a skillet cake for a while now just never got around it until a few weeks ago. Actually thissalted caramel chocolate skillet brownie was the first thing I tried in my brand new omelette pan. And no, I still haven’t used it for eggs.

* I was not asked to write about any of these products. Opinions are and always will be mine.
