This month's Ina Friday assignment was for a dessert, and with my husband's birthday coming up, I quickly decided to make him Brownie Pudding. The guy loves brownies, chocolate, and batter, so it seemed like a perfect choice.
I had to halve the recipe because I didn't have baking dishes that would have worked for the whole recipe (you need to make a water bath), used vanilla extract instead of the seeds from a vanilla bean, and did not have the optional framboise.
Regardless, the brownie pudding turned out really well! It has a crunchy, sugary crust on top, then the inside is insanely chocolaty (there's more cocoa than flour in it!), soft and chewy near the edges, and delightfully gooey at the center. I think I may have baked it a smidgen too long because the center was not actually runny, but it doesn't seem to have hurt things one bit. My husband gave this 10 stars and had two large servings. Most definitely a repeat, and better than any molten chocolate cake either of us have had at restaurants.

As a plus, this is super easy to make with pretty impressive and very yummy results! And since you serve it warm (with ice cream, no less), unlike with a cake, brownies, cheesecake, or pie, you don't have to wait for it to cool before serving.
Brownie Pudding
1 stick butter
1 C sugar
1/3 C cocoa powder, plus 1 Tbsp
1/4 C flour
seeds of half a vanilla bean (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
1/2 Tbsp framboise liquer, optional (I did not have this)
vanilla ice cream to serve it with
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a flat, 1 quart baking dish that fits comfortably inside of another baking dish (you're going to make a water bath). In the bowl of a stand mixer, place eggs and sugar. Attach paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture is thick and light yellow.
While the sugar and eggs mix,sift together the cocoa powder and flour. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and add the cocoa powder-flour mixture, vanilla, and Framboise. Mix only until combined. With the mixer still running, slowly pour in the cooled, melted butter. Again, mix just until combined.
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Set baking dish inside the other baking dish and place it in the oven. Fill the larger baking dish with enough hot tap water to fill it halfway up the side of the dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted 1 1/2 inches from the side of the baking dish comes out mostly clean, about 45 minutes. Do not over bake.
Let the brownie pudding cool for 15 minutes, then serve with vanilla ice cream.
Yield: 4 servings (recipe says 3, but 4 or even 6 is more realistic)
