Ingredients
🧈 1/2 pound unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the dish
🥚 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
🍚 2 cups granulated sugar
🍫 3/4 cup high-quality cocoa powder
🌾 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
🍦 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
🍨 Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
1- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and allow it to preheat fully while preparing the brownie mixture.
2- Melt the Butter:
- Melt 1/2 pound of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat and then set it aside to cool slightly.
3- Prepare the Egg and Sugar Mixture:
- In the bowl of a KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat 4 extra-large eggs and 2 cups of granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture becomes very thick and lighter in color.
4- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Sift 3/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour together over the egg mixture using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
5- Combine the Ingredients:
- With the mixer on low speed, gently mix the dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mixture just until combined.
- Slowly pour in the cooled melted butter, mixing on low until just incorporated to avoid overmixing.
6- Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Generously butter a 2-quart baking dish with additional butter.
7- Create a Water Bath:
- Pour the prepared brownie mixture into the buttered baking dish.
- Place the dish into a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot tap water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the brownie dish.
8- Bake:
- Bake the brownie pudding in the preheated oven for exactly 1 hour.
- When done, a cake tester inserted 2 inches from the edge should come out mostly clean while the center remains very fudgy.
9- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownie pudding to cool slightly.
- Serve warm with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream to enjoy the delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.

Cooking Tips
- Achieve the Right Consistency: Beating the eggs and sugar until very thick ensures a light texture in your brownie pudding.
- Even Baking: Using a water bath, or Bain-marie, helps to evenly cook the dessert without drying out the edges.
- Perfect Pairing: Vanilla ice cream is essential to balance and complement the rich chocolatey flavor of the pudding.
