Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) Brownies
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing) Butter
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish, optional) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with the butter.
Cut your brownies into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. This creates your custard base.
Pour the prepared custard evenly over the brownie cubes in the baking dish, ensuring all the brownie pieces are soaked. Press down lightly with a spatula to help the custard absorb into the brownies.
Let the pudding sit for 10 minutes to further soak the brownies.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden.
Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar on top for garnish.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
