Directions

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

3 1/4 cups (20 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

3 extra-large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup (4 ounces) chopped walnuts

2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan with removable sides. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a bowl set over simmering water. Add 2 cups of the chocolate chips, remove from the heat, and stir until the chocolate melts. Set aside to cool completely.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, coffee, and vanilla on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cooled chocolate. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the walnuts. Fold the flour mixture into the batter until just combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is puffed (the top may crack). The inside will still be very soft. Cool to room temperature before removing the sides of the tart pan.

Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips with the heavy cream and drizzle on the tart.

Loved This
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so good. If you are a real chocolate lover, you will love this. It is gooey and yummy. I did not add the coffee or... the walnuts and it was great. I used a 9" pie pan and it worked out just fine. I did add the chocolate to the top and I think it made a big differance. Read more

Wonderful treat for chocolate lovers!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last night for some friends who came over to watch football, and they seemed to really enjoy it! I left out the... coffee to save $ (plus not everyone who was supposed to be here are coffee fans) and it was still delish. If you didn't have cream on hand, you could skip the topping too. It does make for a lovely presentation, but it doesn't make or break the dessert. I don't have a stand mixer, just a hand mixed, and that worked ok. I used a 9" glass pie pan (I don't think she used a tart pan in the video) and that worked fine, though it seemed to rise higher than hers. Checking for doneness is tricky, though watching her do it in the video helps. I think mine was a little overdone b/c the top seemed a little thick. Will def. make this again.Read more

Heart Healthy Changes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So I was dying for chocolate the other night. I remember seeing Ina make this on the television about a week or two ago and... thought why not. Well seeing the amount of butter and sugar detered me until I decided to experiment. I replaced the butter with Smart Balance Light spread... yes the spread and not the sticks and half the sugar with Splenda. I first melted the spread in the microwave and then added 8 ounces of chopped semi sweet chocolate, a little longer in the microwave, whisked it and let it sit. Completed the recipe as she directs and added 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. The compliment came when my son was eating them. When I told him that I had use the healthy spread and some splenda he would not believe me. I know it was not totally healthy, but it did curb my need for chocolate and I did not feel the guilt.Read more

OMG...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never made homemade brownies before and I will tell you what...I won't go back to boxed brownies again unless I... absolutely have too! I didn't have unsalted butter, I used regular and left the salt out. It was still wonderful! I also didn't put the chocolate on top and simply used whipped cream for topping...great great great!Read more
