This Is the Ultimate Filipino Brownie Recipe

Boil tablea and milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until chocolate has melted. Add butter and half of the sugar. Allow butter and sugar to melt, stirring until well combined. Remove from heat; set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat eggs, vanilla, and remaining sugar on medium speed until well combined. Turn speed to low then pour in tablea mixture; mix until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Top with pastillas, pinipig, chocolate chips, and cacao nibs. Bake for 25 minutes. The toothpick test won't work for this recipe, so after
25 minutes, shake the pan a bit; if the center is still jiggly, bake for 5 more minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
