BROWNIE PUDDING
My Brownie Pudding is a rich chocolate dessert with a crispy, crackly crust and a dense, spoon-able center. It's like a deep-dish flourless chocolate cake!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325F and butter an 9x12 inch oval baker (2 qt) You can also use an 8x8 baking dish. Make sure you have a larger baking dish or roasting pain handy that your baker will fit into for making a water bath.
- Melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave. Set aside, and allow it to cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Whisk or sift it well to get out any lumps in the flour or cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or with a pair of electric beaters, beat the eggs and the sugar together for 5-10 minutes on medium-high speed. You want the mixture to be very pale yellow and thick. I went for about 7 minutes.
- Turn the mixer speed down to low, and slowly add the vanilla bean paste, and then the cocoa powder mixture.
- Then, in a steady stream, add the melted butter. When everything is just mixed together, turn off the mixer.
- Give the batter one last mix by hand, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is well incorporated. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
- Place your water bath pan on your oven rack. Place your baking dish inside it, and then add hot water (from your tap, or heated in a kettle) so that it comes up about halfway up the sides of the brownie baking dish.
- Bake for 1 hour. The edges will be firm, but the center will still be soft, and it's best to under-bake rather than over do it with this cake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least partially before serving. Can be served warm, at room temp, or cold, however you like it! It will be the goo-iest and most pudding-like while it's still warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
- Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart (9 by 12 by 2-inch) oval baking dish. Melt the 1/2 pound of butter and set aside to cool. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until very thick and light yellow. Meanwhile, sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside. When the egg and sugar mixture is ready, reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla seeds, framboise, if using, and the cocoa powder and flour mixture. Mix only until combined. With mixer still on low, slowly pour in the cooled butter and mix again just until combined. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish and place it in a larger baking pan. Add enough of the hottest tap water to the pan to come halfway up the side of the dish and bake for exactly 1 hour. A cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out 3/4 clean. The center will appear very under-baked; this dessert is between a brownie and a pudding. Allow to cool and serve with vanilla ice cream.
BAREFOOT CONTESSA BROWNIE PUDDING
This is so incredibly rich and decadent. From the Barefoot Contessa's cookbook "Back to Basics," I am posting it here so I don't lose it. The inside will appear VERY underbaked - it is supposed to be that way, so don't keep on baking it! The number of servings are as noted in the cookbook, though I think it could serve far more.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- Beat eggs and sugar together on medium speed until very light yellow and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Sift cocoa powder and flour together, and add to sugar and egg mixture on low speed just until mixed.
- Slowly pour in melted butter and mix again just until combined.
- Grease a 9x12x2 baking dish (I used an 8x11), and spread mixture into the pan.
- Place dish into a larger baking pan.
- Add enough very hot tap water to larger pan to come halfway up the side of the smaller pan.
- Bake for exactly 1 hour.
- A cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out 3/4 clean.
- The center will appear very underbaked, IT SHOULD. The texture of this is between a brownie and pudding.
- Cool, serve slightly warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Ina Garten recommends using a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense brownie pudding.
- Bake the brownie pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out and will give it a smooth, creamy texture.
- Let the brownie pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and will make it easier to slice.
- Serve the brownie pudding with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
Ina Garten's brownie pudding is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own preferences. Whether you like your brownies fudgy or cakey, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give Ina Garten's brownie pudding a try.
