Ina Garten Brownie Pudding

Cook Time 1 hour

Serves 4–5

Ingredients

2 eggs

200g raw caster sugar

35g cocoa powder

30g plain flour

112g butter, unsalted 

100g 70% dark chocolate

Pinch salt

¼ Tonka bean, microplaned (optional)

To Serve

Vanilla bean ice cream

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a saucepan, gently melt the butter and the chocolate. Add the salt and Tonka bean if using. Set aside to cool.

Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk until light and pale. Sift the cocoa powder and flour into the egg mixture, then gently fold them in. Mix in the cooled chocolate butter mixture and combine to smooth the batter.

Place batter into a lightly buttered ovenproof dish. Place the dish on a deep tray and add water halfway up the sides of the dish. This will ensure gentle, even baking.

Baking time will depend on the oven, but allow 25-30 minutes. The top of the pudding should be firm and crisp, while the centre should be soft.

Allow to cool slightly and serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
