Ingredients

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the dish
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup good cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
1 tablespoon framboise liqueur, optional
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

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.

i don't know what happened. i followed the recipe exactly. i watched her make it twice on tv through dvr and then printed... out the recipe. my brownie cooked all the way through and was actually a little burned on the edges. one hour was way too long, and my oven is usually cooler than what the temp on it says. what the heck happened?!Read more

Awesome.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Brownie Pudding is absolutely delicious, it's one of my favorite desserts. I used the following substitutions, all which... worked perfectly: -Oval dish for a 9x11 glass baking dish -Extra large eggs for 4 large eggs -Vanilla bean for 1/2 teaspoon vanilla -Raspberry liquor for Creme de Cassis (you can also use a espresso or Kahlua is also good) Read more

Brownie Pudding or Sex?????
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you have not tried this recipe...do so. It is a flavor, a texture and mixes well with the ice cream and your cup of... coffee. You then are challenged between the joy of using the Brownie Pudding or Sex with your spouse. I found one leads to the other! We have followed the Barefoot Contessa recipe exactly. BUT no liquor added. We then tried again but added 2T of instant expressocoffee. Wonderful!Read more
