Ingredients

  • 1 Brownie Cake, recipe follows
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup raspberry jam, divided
  • 3 medium bananas, thinly sliced, divided

Directions

Cut the Brownie Cake into 1/2-inch chunks, about 4 cups. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, whip the cream, pudding mix, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

In a large bowl, place 1 cup of the whipped cream mixture. Cover with one-third of the brownies in a single layer. Top with 4 tablespoons of the raspberry jam, then one-third of the sliced bananas. Repeat with 2 more layers of each ingredient, ending with sliced bananas. Finish off by topping it all with the remaining whipped cream mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 8 hours before serving.

Brownie Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8 by 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a double boiler, or a microwave set on low power, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring frequently. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl and let cool. Whisk in the cocoa until smooth. Whisk in the granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the flour and salt until just blended.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are slightly overdone (they should be gooey inside), 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

    This dessert was a huge hit. Everything worked out the way it was suppose to except I had to leave the brownie in the oven longer than 25 minutes. I will make this again.

    I also used brownie mix instead of her brownie recipe (just ran out of time, but all the rest of the ingredients were the same. I thought the cream was a little too rich, but my family really liked it. Paula used jars in the episode which looked just plain fun so I got jars too. I assembled each little dessert and then chilled them during dinner. When it was time for dessert I got out my tray of jars and handed them around to each of our guests and made them unscrew the lids themselves. For some reason the presentation seems to make a difference than if you just serve on a plate.
