How to Make Brownie Puddle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the cream cheese until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared tart pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownie cool completely in the pan.
  9. While the brownie is cooling, prepare the ganache: Melt the chocolate and heavy cream together in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  10. Once the brownie is completely cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to create small wells or puddles in the brownie's surface.
  11. Spoon the ganache into the wells.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving.
  13. Remove the brownie from the tart pan and slice into individual servings. Enjoy!
