Description

This decadent Brownie Pudding features a rich, fudgy texture with a gooey center, combining the best qualities of brownies and pudding. Baked in a water bath to achieve a luscious, pudding-like consistency, this dessert is perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Brownie Pudding Ingredients

  • ½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter (plus more for greasing the dish)
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly butter an 8×11 oval baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the ½ pound of unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stove, then set it aside to cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs later.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 4 large eggs and 2 cups granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is very thick and pale yellow, which aerates the batter for a smooth texture.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: While mixing, sift together ¾ cup cocoa powder and ½ cup all-purpose flour in a separate bowl to ensure no lumps remain and incorporate air.
  5. Add Flavor and Dry Ingredients: Reduce the mixer speed to low; add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then gradually incorporate the cocoa and flour mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Incorporate Butter: With the mixer still on low speed, slowly pour in the cooled melted butter and mix until just incorporated, creating a rich and glossy batter.
  7. Prepare Water Bath: Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish. Place this dish inside a larger baking pan. Carefully add very hot tap water to the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish; this water bath ensures gentle and even cooking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 1 hour. Insert a cake tester about 2 inches from the edge—the tester should come out mostly clean. The center should remain slightly underbaked to achieve the desired pudding-like texture.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the Brownie Pudding to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Using a water bath during baking prevents the edges from cooking too quickly, ensuring a soft, pudding-like center.
  • Room temperature eggs help the batter emulsify better for a smooth and airy texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding the flour and cocoa powder to avoid a dense brownie pudding.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, reduce the baking time slightly, but the pudding center is intentional and key to the dessert’s character.
  • Vanilla ice cream complements the warm brownie pudding with creamy contrast—feel free to substitute with your favorite ice cream flavor.
