Ina Garten Chocolate Brownie Pudding Recipe
There is something magical about a warm, gooey dessert. This Ina Garten Chocolate Brownie Pudding Recipe is rich, soft, and full of deep chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 115 g ½ cup unsalted butter
- 115 g 4 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder optional, for extra richness
Instructions
Melt the Butter and Chocolate
- Place butter and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt gently using a microwave or double boiler. Stir slowly until smooth and shiny. Let it cool slightly before using.
Beat Eggs and Sugar
- In another bowl, add eggs and sugar. Beat well using a mixer or whisk. The mixture should look pale and fluffy. This step helps create a soft texture.
Add Vanilla and Chocolate Mixture
- Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract. Mix gently until everything combines smoothly. Do not overmix at this stage.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Now add flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Fold the mixture slowly using a spatula. Keep the batter soft and smooth. Avoid mixing too hard.
Prepare the Baking Dish
- Grease your baking dish with butter. You can also line it with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes serving easier later.
Pour and Bake
- Pour the batter into the dish evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes. The center should stay slightly soft.
Cool and Serve
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. It will firm up slightly but stay gooey inside. Serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for deeper flavor
- Do not overbake, or it will lose its pudding texture
- Add chopped nuts for extra crunch
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a perfect pairing
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a nice finish
