Fudgy and decadent churro blondies filled with dulce de leche that are easy to make and can be served with your favorite ice cream.

Desserts have always been at the top of my list of faves… especially moist cakes, brownies, and blondies (brownies without chocolate). Let me tell you that these fudgy dulce de leche churro blondies are among the best. They are one of those comforting, rich treats that you have to try real hard to keep from devouring one right after the other.

They are fortunately easy to make. Combine the batter ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer, pour half of it into a greased baking pan, spoon dulce de leche on top, and finish by layering on the other half of the batter and sprinkling with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes and voila! You have one of the most scrumptious treats ever — just like our dulce de leche churro trifle!

Yep, easy peasy!!!

It goes without saying that the contrasting texture of the fudgy blondie with the crisp/crumbly cinnamon-sugar topping can wow any palate.

If you want to make them even more special, serve these churro blondies with a drizzle of softened dulce de leche and a glass of milk… or heat them up and top with a scoop of ice cream. Man, oh man… it is like hearing a choir of angels singing!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular unsalted butter.
  • If you don’t have dulce de leche, you can substitute a caramel sauce or sweetened condensed milk.
  • To prevent sticking, let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I can’t find dulce de leche for the blondies?

You can make your own dulce de leche by simmering sweetened condensed milk for about 1-2 hours until it thickens and turns a caramel color.

How can I ensure my churro blondies have the right fudgy texture?

Make sure not to over-mix the batter and check for doneness a few minutes before the 35-minute mark to avoid drying them out.

Can I add more cinnamon to the cinnamon-sugar topping?

Yes, you can adjust the cinnamon in the topping to your taste, but keep in mind that too much can overpower the flavor of the blondies.
