🥘Ingredients

For the Brownie Pudding

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
4Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
5Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
6Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the batter. Do not stir.
7Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is set and the edges are pulling away from the pan. The center will still be slightly jiggly.
8Let it cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Ina Garten’s Brownie Pudding

1. Can I use milk chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate?

Yes, you can. The pudding will be sweeter and less intense. I recommend using a good quality milk chocolate for best results.

2. Why do I need to pour hot water on top?

The hot water is the key to the pudding layer. As it bakes, it separates from the brownie batter and creates a rich, fudgy sauce at the bottom. Do not stir it in.

3. Can I make this brownie pudding ahead of time?

You can bake it a day ahead and reheat it in the oven or microwave. The texture is best when served warm, but it is still delicious at room temperature.

4. How do I know when it is done baking?

The top should look set and the edges will pull away from the pan. The center will still be jiggly. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with moist crumbs.

5. Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?

Absolutely. You can fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking for extra crunch. Chocolate chips are also a great addition.
