Dive into the decadence of the "Brownie Puddle," a rich and indulgent dessert that combines the chewy edges of a classic brownie with a gooey, molten center reminiscent of a chocolate lava cake. Made with premium dark chocolate, a touch of unsweetened cocoa, and melty chocolate chips, this deeply chocolaty treat delivers a luxurious flavor and texture in every bite. The simplicity of whisking pantry staples like butter, sugar, eggs, and flour ensures this dessert comes together in just 15 minutes of prep time, making it an ideal choice for both casual evenings and special occasions. Baked until the edges are set but the center remains irresistibly soft and "puddle-like," this crowd-pleaser is best enjoyed warm, paired with creamy vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for a decadent finishing touch. Perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings or impressing dinner guests, the Brownie Puddle is a must-try for any dessert lover.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) round baking dish or pie pan with a little butter.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips for extra pockets of gooey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly. Do not overbake to maintain the gooey 'puddle' texture.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. The center will continue to set as it cools.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an over-the-top dessert experience.
