Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 18 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate buttons, chips, or morsels
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate buttons, chips or morsels
Approximately 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Special equipment: Baking tin (approximately 11 1/4 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches), sides and base lined with baking parchment.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
  • In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey. Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes. Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.
  • To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve.

PILLSBURY ENGLISH ORANGE TRIFLE



Pillsbury English Orange Trifle image

From Pillsbury Easy Entertaining booklet 1993. This is a very pretty, company-worthy round trifle. This is perfect for the holidays. It isn't hard but it does take a very long time. It does not have to be overnight but you would have to start it very early. I have not tried this recipe yet. I had to guess at the prep time but it will be around 7 hours with all the sitting and refrigerating. Once the bread is baked the cooking part is done, however. I think for the bread I will try Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread #77086.

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h25m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package pillsbury cranberry quick bread mix (or Date)
1/4-1/2 cup orange-flavored liqueur or 1/4-1/2 cup orange juice
1 (3 ounce) package vanilla, pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 (12 ounce) jar orange marmalade (1 1/2 c) or 1 (12 ounce) jar peach preserves (1 1/2 c)
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour bottom only of 8x4 or 9x5 inch loaf pan. Prepare and bake quick bread mix according to package directions. (Or make your own.) Cool completely.
  • Cut bread into 1-inch squares; place in shallow baking dish. Drizzle with orange liqueur. Cover; let stand for about 2 hours. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine pudding, milk and orange peel. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute; remove from heat. Cover surface with plastic wrap; cool 1 hour. Fold whipped cream into cooled pudding.
  • Line 2 or 2 1/2 quart bowl with plastic wrap. Spread 1 cup of the pudding mixture in bottom of bowl. Add 1/3 of bread squares; spread with 1/3 of the marmalade and 1 cup of the pudding mixture. Starting with bread squares, repeat layers 2 more times. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Unmold trifle onto serving plate. In small bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Frost trifle. Garnish as desired.
  • Presentation: The picture has almond slices along the bottom of the sides and orange curls and candied cranberries on the top. Around the trifle are very thin orange slices with a slit cut in one side so they can be placed in a swoop, almost a figure eight, with a candied cranberry in the center of each.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder.
  • If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use a large glass bowl or even a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To make the brownie layer ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have any chocolate pudding mix, you can make your own by whisking together 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan. Then, whisk in 2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • To make the whipped cream topping, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, fold in 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Conclusion:

This Pillsbury brownie trifle is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
