STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Making Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding is so simple!

• 1. Prep oven & dish. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking dish. This prepares your dish for the amazing Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding.
  
• 2. Melt chocolate & butter. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir well.
• 3. Combine wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
• 4. Mix wet and dry. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
• 5. Add dry to wet. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix your Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding batter.
  
• 6. Pour & add liquid. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the hot coffee (or water) evenly over the top of the batter. Do not stir it in. This creates the unique texture of Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding.
  
• 7. Bake. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle. The magic of Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding happens in the oven.
• 8. Cool & serve. Let the Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding cool slightly before serving warm.

PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS

For the best Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding, always use good quality chocolate; it really makes a difference. Do not overmix the batter; overmixing leads to tough brownies, and we want that perfect Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding texture. Moreover, do not stir the hot liquid on top; trust the process!

That liquid sinks down and creates the “pudding” layer in this viral brownie pudding. Furthermore, serve your Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding warm for the ultimate comfort experience.

Achieving the perfect texture and flavor, like the rich pudding layer here, often comes down to paying attention to small details and quality ingredients. Similarly, elevating a classic appetizer like Spinach Artichoke Dip also benefits from carefully selected components and precise preparation techniques.

STORAGE & REHEATING TIPS

Store leftover Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings of Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warm and gooey again. This Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding tastes delicious even cold.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS RECIPE

A sprinkle of flaky sea salt also enhances the chocolate notes in this Ina Garten’s Viral Brownie Pudding. Finally, a glass of cold milk makes a wonderful pairing.

While this decadent brownie pudding pairs beautifully with ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent experience, sometimes a lighter, savory option is just what you need to balance your palate. For a delicious and nutritious way to start your day, consider pairing your morning coffee with Spinach And Cottage Cheese Flagels.
