Rediscover a 1936 No-Bake Brownie Recipe That Requires No Oven Time
In short: This video revives a vintage brownie recipe from a 1936 Viko cookbook. Learn how to prepare this simple, chocolate-rich dessert using a double boiler and pantry staples like sweetened condensed milk, offering a clever, oven-free alternative for your next gathering.
The recipe originates from a promotional cookbook published by Viko, an aluminum cookware company, to demonstrate the utility of their kitchenware. Unlike traditional brownies, these are prepared by melting chocolate in a double boiler and thickening it with sweetened condensed milk before incorporating crumbs and nuts.
The process involves mixing two ounces of unsweetened chocolate with one can of sweetened condensed milk, then folding in two cups of vanilla wafer crumbs—or graham crackers—and half a cup of chopped nuts. The mixture is pressed into a buttered pan and refrigerated for several hours or overnight to set, yielding 18 servings.
