Chocolate Brownie Pudding: A Vintage Magic Dessert

Hi, I'm Sarah Ait dahan, and I'm thrilled to share this nostalgic Chocolate Brownie Pudding recipe with you. Also known as "Hot Fudge Pudding Cake" or "Chocolate Cobbler," this dessert is pure magic. You pour boiling water over the batter, and as it bakes, it creates a rich, gooey chocolate sauce underneath a tender brownie-like cake. It's warm, comforting, and absolutely irresistible with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Sarah's Baking Tips

  • Serve Warm: This dessert is best enjoyed fresh from the oven when the sauce is hot and bubbly.
  • Ice Cream is Essential: The cold vanilla ice cream against the warm pudding is perfection.
  • Don't Overbake: The center should still jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven.
