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.

Very rich, sexy and highly addicting!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

OMG! This is TO DIE FOR!!! I saw the show today and just had to make it tonight! It is very rich and chocolatey (the... perfect chocolate taste i want in my brownie!). The edges and and crusts are especially CHEWY...the inside is a mix between being light and airy and sort of like the batter...As one of the reviewers said, it has a souffle texture. IT'S SOOOO GOOD! Sure, you can eat only so much at a time but it has you coming back for more. I think the oval dish helps as it creates more of those chewy crusts you want to balance the gooey richness inside. Btw, I used DROSTE Cocoa Powder, used 5 large eggs (in lieu of 4 XL eggs), and didn't use any Framboise as I didn't have any in my pantry. Read more

I used a hand mixer as well and only cooked 45 minutes. The inside consistency was soft, but not gooey or runny. Sooo... chocolaty and delicious. Will definitely make again!! Read more

delicious - can make with hand mixer
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is chocolately deliciousness. I don't have a stand mixer so I beat the eggs and sugar with an electric hand mixer for... about 10 minutes, and it turned out perfectly and just as described with exactly one hour of cooking. I used 1/2 c Hershey's cocoa powder and 1/4 c Hershey's special dark and it tastes great. If you chill overnight, definitely bring it back to room temperature before eating so that it retains the pudding texture.Read more

This is ridiculously good, and inexpensive to make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This uses cocoa- no where near as expensive as good chocolate, and yet it TASTES like you put Valrona in it! So decadent and... wonderful. Nice enough for a special dinner, garnished with whipped cream or served with ice cream. Make sure you really mix for a while to get the right consistency on the eggs etc.Read more

So Good, So Chocolaty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This brownie pudding is fairly complicated to make, like most of Ina's recipes, but so worth it! It is smooth, chocolaty and... delicious. The texture is the most alluring aspect of the recipe, it is like the warm gooey center of fresh out of the oven brownies. Irresistible and rich! Definitely try this recipe! :)Read more
