BROWNIE TART
Steps:
- Grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan with removable sides. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a bowl set over simmering water. Add 2 cups of the chocolate chips, remove from the heat, and stir until the chocolate melts. Set aside to cool completely.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, coffee, and vanilla on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cooled chocolate. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the walnuts. Fold the flour mixture into the batter until just combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is puffed (the top may crack). The inside will still be very soft. Cool to room temperature before removing the sides of the tart pan.
- Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips with the heavy cream and drizzle on the tart.
BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BROWNIE TART
From Barefoot in Paris, 2004. This dessert is very elegant and rich. If you don't have a tart pan, use a springform pan or even a pie plate--which is what Ina used when she made it on her cooking show.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
- Melt together the butter, chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and chocolate chips with flour to coat. Then add to the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not overbake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.
- This was adapted from a recipe for chocolate globs in the Soho Charcuterie Cookbook.
BAREFOOT CONTESSA BROWNIE PUDDING
This is so incredibly rich and decadent. From the Barefoot Contessa's cookbook "Back to Basics," I am posting it here so I don't lose it. The inside will appear VERY underbaked - it is supposed to be that way, so don't keep on baking it! The number of servings are as noted in the cookbook, though I think it could serve far more.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- Beat eggs and sugar together on medium speed until very light yellow and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Sift cocoa powder and flour together, and add to sugar and egg mixture on low speed just until mixed.
- Slowly pour in melted butter and mix again just until combined.
- Grease a 9x12x2 baking dish (I used an 8x11), and spread mixture into the pan.
- Place dish into a larger baking pan.
- Add enough very hot tap water to larger pan to come halfway up the side of the smaller pan.
- Bake for exactly 1 hour.
- A cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out 3/4 clean.
- The center will appear very underbaked, IT SHOULD. The texture of this is between a brownie and pudding.
- Cool, serve slightly warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. You can use a variety of chocolates, such as semisweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate. If you use a chocolate with a higher cacao content, the brownies will be more intense in flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help the brownies to rise evenly.
- Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking the brownies will make them dry. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help the brownies to set and hold their shape.
