Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish or a deep baking tray (around 8x8 inch or similar).
- Place the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate and stir continuously until both have completely melted and combined. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly pale. Slowly add the melted butter and chocolate mixture, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, dry cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Stir in the milk, ensuring the batter is smooth. Then, fold in the toasted pecans.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup with 1 cup boiling water. Carefully pour this mixture over the brownie batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm to touch but the middle remains gooey. The pudding should have a set top and a sauce-like bottom.
- Allow the brownie pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help thicken the sauce slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is properly melted before combining it with other ingredients to achieve a smooth mixture.
- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the recipe for an enhanced nutty flavor.
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a denser pudding.
- The water added at the end is crucial for creating the self-saucing effect. Pour it gently to prevent disturbing the batter too much.
- Bake the pudding just until set. Overbaking can dry out the sauce, while underbaking may result in a too-liquid center.
- Allow the pudding to rest for a few minutes after baking. This resting time helps the sauce to thicken slightly and develop its flavor.
With its rich, chocolatey flavor and satisfying pecan crunch, this self-saucing pecan brownie pudding is sure to impress your family and friends. The unique self-saucing feature adds a delectable element to this dessert, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Serve it warm, possibly with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor the compliments that are sure to come your way.
