Notes
Always use good quality chocolate; it makes a difference.
Do not overmix the batter to ensure perfect texture.
Do not stir the hot liquid on top; this creates the unique pudding layer.
Serve warm for the ultimate comfort experience.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warm and gooey again.
The pudding tastes delicious even cold.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, a dollop of freshly whipped cream, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, or a glass of cold milk.
You can assemble the batter and pour in the hot coffee, then bake it just before serving, or bake entirely and gently reheat portions.
The hot liquid sinks through the batter during baking, creating a luscious, gooey, pudding-like layer at the bottom while the top bakes into a delightful brownie.
