Pudding Poke Brownies Recipes

BROWNIE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart (9 by 12 by 2-inch) oval baking dish. Melt the 1/2 pound of butter and set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until very thick and light yellow. Meanwhile, sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside.
• When the egg and sugar mixture is ready, reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla seeds, framboise, if using, and the cocoa powder and flour mixture. Mix only until combined. With mixer still on low, slowly pour in the cooled butter and mix again just until combined.
• Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish and place it in a larger baking pan. Add enough of the hottest tap water to the pan to come halfway up the side of the dish and bake for exactly 1 hour. A cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out 3/4 clean. The center will appear very under-baked; this dessert is between a brownie and a pudding.
• Allow to cool and serve with vanilla ice cream.

• Refrigerate 1 hour.

PUDDING POKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Prepare and bake brownie mix in 8-inch square baking pan as directed on package. Remove from oven. Immediately use round handle of wooden spoon to poke holes at 1-inch intervals down through warm brownies to bottom of pan.
• Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Immediately pour about 1/2 of the thin pudding mixture evenly over warm brownies. Tap pan lightly to fill holes. Let remaining pudding stand at room temperature to thicken slightly; spread over top of brownies to "frost" brownies.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cut into 2-inch squares, then cut each square diagonally in half to form 2 triangles. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
