OMG! I’m In Chocolate Heaven!
I think I died and went to chocolate heaven.
I’ve seen so many recipes for Brownie Pudding out there in internet land – but I have yet to see one like my grandma’s. Actually, I don’t think I’ve seen any ‘vintage’ recipes for brownie pudding anywhere really.
I remember eating a bowl of this fresh out of the oven with a big ol’ scoop of vanilla ice cream at my grandma’s house for breakfast. Yes, I said breakfast. I also said I was at my grandma’s house. If I were at my mom’s house, I would have been eating bran flakes for breakfast which I would subsequently run like a banshee from the dining room to flush down the toilet the instant my mother was preoccupied.
Anyhoo.
Back to this marvelousness at hand. Old Fashioned Brownie Pudding.
My Grandma’s Old Fashioned Brownie Pudding recipe is a chocolate lover’s dream. Warm, rich, fudgy chocolate with a thin ‘brownie edge’ crust. Only 6 simple ingredients too! INCREDIBLE!
This is a chocolate lovers dream.
The center is warm, fudgy, rich, & decadent – and the very top forms a nice crusty ‘brownie’ edge.
I can’t even find the words to describe to y’all how good this one is. You’re just gonna have to trust me on this! If you like warm, rich chocolate – this is the recipe for you. It certainly helps that everything you need is super basic, which is one of the greatest things about vintage recipes – you may even have everything you need on hand to make this right now.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 stick of melted butter (cooled slightly), 3 eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, & 2 cups of sugar.
Whisk in 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Batter will be thin & may have pinpoint little lumps. Don’t worry, those will even all out!
Pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
