Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Butter pecan or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in both sugars until dissolved. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth and glossy, then whisk in the vanilla. Whisk in the flour and kosher salt until combined, then whisk in the pecans. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the brownies are slightly cracked on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the brownies cool in the skillet.
  • As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, make the toffee topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer and cook, without stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it might boil up slightly) and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Let cool until thickened but still pourable, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the topping on the brownies and let set, 1 hour. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Serve with ice cream.

KARDEA'S ULTIMATE SKILLET BROWNIE



Kardea's Ultimate Skillet Brownie image

There's nothing better than an ooey-gooey brownie, topped off with vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce and hot fudge. Goodness, goodness, goodness! You know how I love to make recipes with contrast: salty and sweet; hot and cold. The secret ingredient to making the brownie super rich is a little bit of espresso powder. Adding it really enhances the chocolate flavor.

Nonstick cooking spray, for the skillet
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon espresso powder
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup toffee bits
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Salted caramel sauce and hot fudge sauce, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl.

  • Bake until the edges are firm and the brownies are set, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven. Let cool slightly. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel and hot fudge sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking and to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the batter for a mocha flavor.
  • Top the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
