Mr. Food’s Hot Fudge Brownies
Description
These decadent hot fudge brownies are the ultimate comfort dessert, combining a chewy, chocolatey brownie base with a rich, liquid fudge sauce that forms right in the pan. Made with simple pantry staples like cocoa, walnuts, and a splash of vanilla, they deliver deep chocolate flavor in every bite. The secret is pouring boiling water over the brown sugar and cocoa topping before baking, which creates a luscious, pourable sauce. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a restaurant-quality treat at home.Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick baking spray or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; mix with a spoon or whisk until the batter is smooth.
-
Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
-
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.
-
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
-
Carefully pour the hot water evenly over the brown sugar and cocoa topping.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is cracked and the brownies are just firm to the touch but still slightly moist in the center.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes to allow the fudge sauce to set slightly.
-
Cut into squares and place on individual serving plates.
-
Top each brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the hot fudge sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top.
-
Serve immediately while warm.
