Ingredients

Chocolate Brownie

  • 3.5 oz / 100 g bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup / 75 g / 2.6 oz unsalted butter
  • 1 cup / 200 g / 7 oz brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup / 100 g / 3.5 oz all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

Banana Pudding Swirls

  • 8 oz / 225 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 x 3.4 oz / 96 g package banana instant pudding mix, unprepared

Instructions

  1. Prep. Position a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 350°F / 180°C / gas mark 4. Lightly grease an 8-inch / 20 cm square baking pan with butter and line it with two pieces of parchment paper, creating an overhang. This parchment sling makes it easier to lift the brownies out and prevents sticking.
  2. Mix the banana pudding. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and egg together. Add the banana pudding mix and whisk until combined. The mixture will become stiff and thick. Set aside.
  3. Melt the chocolate and butter. Place the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in low 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful to melt on low to avoid burning the chocolate.
  4. Make the brownie batter. Whisk the brown sugar into the melted chocolate and butter until well incorporated. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gently fold in the flour until just combined and no streaks remain.
  5. Fill the pan. Reserve 2/3 cup of brownie batter and pour the remaining batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the banana pudding mixture over the brownie batter and gently press down with the back of a wet spoon. Fill the gaps with the reserved brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the pudding and brownie batter together for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. The surface should look matte and the center will still be slightly wobbly and soft.
  7. Cool and chill. Allow the brownie to cool in the pan to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours to set properly.
  8. Slice and serve. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 equal slices. Enjoy your Banana Pudding Brownies!

Notes

  • You can vary the sugar type for the brownie batter with the following options:
    • 1 cup / 200 g brown sugar (light or dark)
    • ½ cup / 100 g brown sugar + ½ cup / 100 g granulated sugar
    • 1 cup / 200 g granulated sugar (white or caster)

    The texture may vary slightly, but each option results in delicious brownies.
