Brownie Pudding is every chocolate lover’s dream. It has a decadent, rich, fudgy, gooey base with a crisp meringue topping that is best served with a large scoop of ice-cream and a side of whipped cream. Every year, I whip up this recipe upon unrelenting requests by my sisters. I made this recipe for the first time over 10 years ago and it was passed down to me by family friends, and since then, it has been my family’s favourite. There is alway an occasion where brownie pudding can make an appearance. Of course, I got all the ingredients to make this wonderful dessert at Metro.
Brownie Pudding
Ingredients
Brownie Pudding
- 2 sticks unsalted butter plus extra for buttering the dish
- 4 extra-large eggs at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- ¾ cup good quality cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder finely ground coffee beans
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
- Whipped cream for serving
- Fresh strawberries for serving
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 325 degrees F, butter an oval or square casserole dish.
- Sift your cocoa powder, espresso powder, and flour together and set aside. Mellt your butter and set aside.
- Using a hand mixer, beat your eggs and sugar together on medium high speed for 5-7 minutes minutes until very thick and light yellow.
- Add your vanilla and your dry mixture.
- Pour in your melted butter and mix until combined, pour in your buttered casserole dish.
- Place your casserole dish in a deep, oven safe baking pan and carefully pour warm water into the pan until it comes up halfway up the side of the casserole dish. This is your water bath to help keep the brownie pudding liquid.
- Bake for 60 minutes.
- Take out and let cool. It will look underdone but it is in fact ready and good to eat. You can serve warm, or completely cooled. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whip cream and fresh fruit if desired. If served warm or without setting in the fridge, brownie pudding will be softer and runnier. If you allow it to cool for several minutes or hours, it will thicken significantly.
