Giant Skillet Brownie!

A giant triple chocolate brownie baked in a skillet – drizzled with chocolate, and topped with ice cream!

When I posted my delicious recipe for my chocolate chip skillet cookie it’s been a massive hit ever since – how can anyone not love a GIANT cookie that you can devour for yourself?!

So… why not try it as a brownie?! Why not bake a giant brownie that you serve warm, drizzle with a sauce and topped with ice cream. Warm, gooey, delicious and SO CHOCOLATEY.

Skillet

But anyway… this led me to post this recipe. I have always loved baking in a skillet, but a brownie in a skillet is just delicious! Like, I’d eat it all to myself with a spoon happily.

If you don’t have a skillet its not a problem, you can use a normal frying pan (if it has no plastic on it as it might melt) but if you can invest in a skillet I would – they’re delicious and perfect for sweet and savoury bakes!

You can also use a ceramic style pie dish really easily, and just serve it straight away like this skillet! 

Brownies

You guys LOOOVE my regular triple chocolate brownies recipe, and this is essentially the skillet version. The recipe basics are the same because they are perfect, delicious and super chocolatey. 

It’s so important to use DARK chocolate when making the brownie base – it just makes it taste so much better, bake better, and just be so fudgey and glorious. I always recommend 70%+ cocoa content, for best results. 

I always find it best to melt the dark chocolate and butter together and let that cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar together to a light mousse texture that leaves a trail when you lift the whisk out, and then fold everything together. 

I use milk and white chocolate chips to make everything more ‘triple chocolate’ like, but you can obviously use whatever flavour chocolate chips you like. 

Topping

I decided with my brownie that I would dollop on some yummy  Ice-Cream and cover it in melted chocolate – to make it a brownie lovers absolute dream.

I must admit, it was DELICIOUS. My No-Churn Salted Caramel Ice-Cream, No-Churn Biscoff Ice-Cream, or my No-Churn Mint Chocolate Ice-Cream however would be the perfect and easy no-churn ice-cream to make at home to marry with the Brownie however!

Tips and Tricks

This brownie can be made and just treated as a normal brownie, or you can bake it and enjoy it easily around the table with your friends and family – the possibilities are endless, and all equally as delicious.

I recommend using:

• This dark chocolate
• This milk chocolate
• This white chocolate
• This cocoa powder
• This skillet

Grams - Ounces

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 180ºC/170ºC Fan and prep your 10″ cast iron skillet if need be. (I lightly grease mine.)
• Melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together until fully melted.
• Leave the dark chocolate and butter mixture to cool for 10 minutes. 
• Add the eggs and sugar to a bowl, and whisk for several minutes until doubled in sized, mousse like and the whisk leaves a trail in the mixture.
• Fold through the melted chocolate and butter mixture.
• Fold through the plain flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt.
• Then, evenly fold through the chocolate chips.
• Pour into your prepared skillet, smooth over, and bake for 28-32 minutes (Mine took 30 minutes).
• Insert a skewer into the brownie to check it - it should have a couple of crumbs/gooey bits on it so its still slightly gooey, but it shouldn't be covered!
• Remove the brownie from the oven CAREFULLY as the skillet will be EXTREMELY hot! 
• Leave to cool slightly - If serving immediately, dollop over some ice cream of your choice (I used salted caramel Ice cream) and drizzle with melted chocolate! Enjoy!

Notes

• As its a brownie, I used all white chocolate chips as they're my favourite. I wouldn’t use more than 300g as it might not bake properly - but you can use a mixture of chocolate chips if you like!
• The Ice-Cream and the chocolate on top isn't essential to the recipe, and its up to you how much you use - I just think its oooey-gooey perfection!
• I used this Dark Chocolate
• I used this white chocolate
• I used this cocoa powder
• This recipe was update in July 2022, the original recipe was: 150g butter, 250g dark chocolate, 200g caster sugar, 4 medium eggs, 90g plain flour, 30g cocoa powder, 250g white chocolate chips 

ENJOY!
