What better than brownies to satisfy the cravings of chocoholics??!! This is one serious chocolate fix!!!
I have included here a couple of ways to present this super yummy dessert, that you can use as serving variations. Just because you can prepare a dish, it doesn't mean it has to always look the same or have the same experience!
A little change in presentation and you got yourself a new dessert all together; And no one has to know!!
You Need
1 cup Flour
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
3/4 cup Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
For Chocolate Sauce
You Need
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 cup Boiling Water
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
Grease a medium-size deep baking dish and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, sugar, baking powder & cocoa powder. Stir in the milk, oil & Vanilla. Add chopped nuts and stir. Pour the batter into prepared baking dish.
To Prepare Chocolate Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar & 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder. Stir in the boiling water till incorporated.
Slowly pour the chocolate sauce over the batter. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, cool on rack for 1 hour before serving. Serve warm. Spoon into dessert bowls and spoon sauce with it. You can serve with vanilla ice cream.
For different presentation you can grease 6 ramekins instead of a bakig dish. this makes for individual portions. Pour batter & chocolate sauce into prepared Ramekins. Bake in 350 F oven for 40 minutes or until the tops are dried and a little firm. Cool fo 1 hour on wire racks & sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
Another Serving Suggestion is after the brownie pudding had cooled down completely, spoon some into serving glasses, top with whipped cream, add another layer of brownie pudding and a layer of vanilla ice cream and chopped nuts.
One More serving suggestion is instead of individual glasses, you can use 1 large deep stand. (you might have to double the quantity for 2 layers though or triple quantity for 3 layers). Start with a layer of brownie pudding, top with whipped cream. Add a layer of chocolate ice cream, then top with another layer of pudding and repeat till top. Sprinkle tops with large white chocolate shavings.
Told ya, it's a Serious Chocolate Fix :)
Dima's Tips Stands and different hight platters make for a more interesting presentation, especially on a buffet. It is dull to keep things similar and in the same level. Mix & Match material, shapes, hights as well as colours and you are guaranteed to impress everytime ;)
