Why I Love This Recipe

Chocolate Brownie Pudding is seriously the most decadent and rich dessert I have ever eaten in my entire life! And oh my gosh, is it good. I mean how can you go wrong with butter, sugar and chocolate with ice cream on top?! It's like a giant molten lava cake and it seriously makes enough to feed a small army. I made it just the 2 of us recently and let's be honest, it was an issue. I couldn't be responsible for my actions when left alone with this skillet. Things didn't end well for me or the Chocolate Brownie Pudding. So word to the wise, it's best shared.

And with that said, I leave you with the recipe and I will now go to the gym!

Another tip, if you are looking to make a gluten free dessert and love everything chocolate, try the flourless chocolate cake, which is similar and gluten-free.

An empty 9 inch skillet greased with butter.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9 inch skillet.

A small saucepan with butter being melted.

Step 2: Melt the butter and set aside to cool.

A small glass mixing bowl with cocoa powder and flour placed next to a larger empty glass mixing bowl with a sieve in it to sift the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside.

A stand mixer bowl with eggs and sugar, ready to be beaten together.

Step 4: In your mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until very thick and light yellow.

A stand mixer bowl with beaten eggs and sugar mix, with the dry ingredients sifted in along with coffee and vanilla extract.

Step 5: After 10 minutes, reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla, coffee extract, and the cocoa powder and flour mixture.

Step 8: When it's time to take it out - don't fear- it's absolutely going to look like it's under-baked. (that's normal) Remove the skillet from the water and place in the fridge to cool. Serve in the skillet with ice cream on the side.

How to Store Chocolate Brownie Pudding

I've struggled having leftovers with this one right here, but if you do store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. I prefer eating it warm so I recommend warming up the portion you are eating, in the oven or microwave before eating.

How to Freeze Chocolate Brownie Pudding

You can freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container. When its time to eat warm it in the oven till its back to the ooey-gooey goodness.

Tips & Tricks

  • When the recipe says to whip your eggs and sugar together for 10 minutes – DO IT! Don’t skimp on the time. It should look nice and fluffy and pale yellow, almost white!
  • You actually have to sift your flour and cocoa powder on this one. I know I tend to skip that step in almost every recipe on this site, but today we are just going for it because we want to make sure there are no clumps or bumps.

FAQs

Can I add mix-ins to this pudding?

Yes, you can add nuts, chocolate chips, berries or a caramel swirl. Those would all be delicious!!

Why do I need to place the skillet in a pan with water?

A water bath helps add moisture in the oven which helps when baking things with a delicate texture. This slows the baking with lower and slower baking and prevents cracking and gives a smooth, uniformly baked pudding.

    Currently coming back to make this for yet another dinner with friends. I am terrible at leaving reviews, but after so many times of making it, the people needed to know how goooood this one is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  2. Can I make this ahead for a progressive dinner party? I love this recipe but usually serve it pretty quickly after I've cooked it.

  3. 5 stars
    This is divine!!!! Just made because I was craving chocolate and this did not disappoint! Crunchy on the top and creamy on the bottom!!! I ate warm because I could t resist and it was heavenly!!!!

  4. Looks amazing!!! Any idea if this recipe work would work with GF flour such as Measure for Measure or Cup for Cup or??

  5. 5 stars
    Wowwww!! Best dessert ever. I made it instead of cake for a birthday celebration. Never going back to cake again. So simple and so so good

  6. I have made this before, and its amazing:) However, I need to make it for 20 or so people this time. Is there any problem with doubling or tripling the ingredients in the recipe? I would of course use multiple pans to bake it in. Thank you!
