Chocolate Brownie Pudding-a crisp brownie crust on top with a gooey pudding on the bottom! Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
I know it’s hot outside. Or maybe it’s not where you are. Honestly, with air conditioning, it doesn’t matter what the temperature is outside, if you’re inside. Same with winter, hopefully we all have heat in our homes, and I look forward to pulling out my sweaters, or snuggling under a blanket on the couch.
I don’t let the weather stop me from baking what I want, when I want it.
And you are going to want this Chocolate Brownie Pudding. For dessert, and breakfast, and everything in between.
It’s hard to tell from a photo how gooey good that bottom layer is. Like eating a warm fudge. The top develops a crust like a brownie, only thicker. Crisp, crunchy and chocolatey.
The secret is whipping the eggs until they are a pale, pale yellow. This creates a mousse like batter.
The other secret is baking in a water bath. If you’ve never baked using the water bath method, don’t let it scare you off. All it is, is, placing your baking dish inside of another larger baking pan that’s filled with water. You want to make sure your bottom pan has tall enough sides so the water can go half way up the outside of your baking dish.
The steam from the water, while baking, will create magic. Delicious, gooey, crispy, chocolatey magic.

HA! I love your logic, except we don’t have air conditioning. Since we are coastal, it doesn’t get too bad here, but when it does, it is awful! Baking doesn’t help, but I just wait until the evening to do it! I would for sure turn on my oven for this Brownie Pudding!!

I made this tonight – delicious! Just as described – a crispy top and just the right kind of light gooey on the inside. I used dark cocoa powder and it was perfect with vanilla ice cream.
