Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the top and beat with mixer until combined.


Add the flour and mix well.


Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.


Frosting


In large bowl, add the butter and bear with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.


Pour in the can of sweetened condensed milk and orange extract. Beat on medium until thoroughly mixed and thickened.


Spread the frosting over the brownies and garnish with chocolate curls and/or orange zest if desired.
