Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 box Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and glossy.
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, stirring until fully combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with the whole milk in a medium bowl for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Gently spoon the prepared pudding over the batter, spreading it evenly to form a layer.
Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter over the pudding layer and spread it to cover the pudding completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie (not the pudding layer) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
