Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- ¾ cup (150 g.) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (85 g.) chopped 60% to 70% bittersweet chocolate
- 2 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp. Baileys Irish cream, divided
- â…“ cup (30 g.) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (30 g.) all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and butter an 8-inch round cake pan or medium heatproof skillet. Place the pan or skillet inside a larger pan, such as a 13 ½-by-10-inch roasting pan. This creates the water bath.
-
Melt Butter and Sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the butter and granulated sugar, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, 7 to 9 minutes.
-
Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
-
Whisk in Eggs and Baileys: Whisk in the eggs and 2 tablespoons of the Baileys Irish Cream.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, then stir until the mixture resembles wet brownie batter.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan (the smaller pan inside the larger pan).
-
Add Water: Pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller pan. This creates the water bath, which ensures even cooking and a moist, pudding-like texture.
-
Bake: Bake the brownie pudding until a flaky crust forms, resembling the top of a traditional brownie, and the center is slightly underdone and almost jiggly, 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Cool: Let the brownie pudding cool slightly.
-
Make Whipped Cream: Meanwhile, make the Baileys whipped cream. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the heavy cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Baileys Irish Cream until medium peaks form.
-
Serve: Top the brownie pudding with the whipped cream and serve
