We are making chunky monkey brownies.
0:03
This is a very decadent dessert. It's
0:05
very easy to make. Just these simple
0:08
ingredients right here. In a large
0:10
mixing bowl, that's the only bowl you're
0:12
going to need. We're going to put two
0:14
sticks of butter, which is one cup, into
0:17
our bowl. Make sure it's microwave safe.
0:20
We're going to soften the butter. I'm
0:21
going to put it in for about 20 seconds.
0:23
We're going to crack in two large eggs.
0:29
We're going to add in 1 and 1/2 cups of
0:32
brown sugar. You're going to want to
0:35
make sure that it's packed.
0:40
And then we're going to add in half a
0:42
cup of white granulated sugar. We're
0:46
going to put in 1/4 teaspoon of salt
0:52
and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. I'm
0:56
going to add a little bit more cuz this
0:57
recipe calls for two teaspoons of
0:59
vanilla. We're going to take our
1:01
electric hand mixer. We're going to beat
1:03
the mixture until it's nice and smooth
1:06
and all combined.
1:10
Okay, we got a good mix there. Nice and
1:12
smooth, creamy.
1:17
We're going to add in two cups of
1:19
allpurpose flour.
1:23
We're going to add it in
1:26
just both cups at the same time. This is
1:28
going to be a thick batter.
1:35
We're going to get a small bowl.
1:39
All right, we're going to take some
1:40
bananas. These are pretty large bananas,
1:43
so I'm probably going to go in with one
1:45
and a half of these large ones. Or if
1:46
you have medium size, you could do about
1:49
three of them. The banana smells good.
1:52
Okay, for you nonbanana lovers out
1:54
there, you can substitute bananas for
1:56
applesauce. Let me get a fork and we're
1:59
going to mash the bananas up. We're
2:01
going to add that.
2:03
There we go.
2:05
All right, we're going to go in on a low
2:07
setting.
2:10
Start mixing this up.
2:12
All we want to do is combine it.
2:15
I'm going to go to a higher speed now.
2:17
Here we go. Give it some speed so it can
2:19
get through the batter. It's going to be
2:21
pretty thick. Semieet chocolate chips.
2:24
We're going to put two cups into the
2:26
batter. One and
2:31
two. There we go. We're going to take a
2:35
spatula or take a wooden spoon and we're
2:38
going to fold the chips in.
2:41
Make sure they're nice and evenly
2:42
dispersed.
2:46
We're going to be baking these in a 9
2:48
by13 baking dish.
2:50
Just going to spray it with some
2:51
non-stick cooking spray.
2:55
Okay, we're going to place the batter
2:58
into our baking dish
3:00
and we're going to smooth it out evenly.
3:02
We still got to finish it off. Now,
3:04
those chocolate chips, they're going to
3:06
melt in these brownies.
3:09
All right, I'm just going to wipe off
3:10
the edges here with the spray.
3:15
Okay, now we're going to add more
3:16
chocolate chips to the top. We're going
3:18
to bake this in a 350°ree oven for about
3:21
35 to 40 minutes. Take a toothpick,
3:24
insert it into the center of the
3:26
brownies, pull it out, make sure it's
3:28
nice and clean. You want to make sure
3:29
you cool these down completely when they
3:31
come out of the oven before you eat
3:33
them. Okay, we have it right here. Our
3:36
chunky monkey brownies. I'm going to cut
3:38
through them.
3:40
I guess we're going to get about, let's
3:42
see, 15 of these size. Anyway,
3:47
what do y'all think?
3:49
M.
3:55
Mhm.
3:57
I can taste that banana in there. I'm
3:59
going to show you how to make the best
4:01
brownies on Earth. They're called crack
4:04
brownies. They're very easy to make.
4:06
We're going to start off with a box of
4:09
your favorite brownie mix. and we're
4:11
going to prepare it just like it says on
4:14
the back of the package. That's step
4:17
one. Let's go ahead and prepare our pan.
4:20
Now, you can use an 8x8, 9x9, or an
4:25
11x7, which is a standard brownie size
4:28
pan. Now, I'm just going to take a
4:30
little bit of butter, a pastry brush,
4:32
and we're going to grease our pan. Now,
4:34
if you have some cooking spray, you can
4:36
do that also.
4:38
All right, let's pour the batter into
4:39
our prepared baking pan.
4:44
I'm going to be using an offset spatula
4:46
to spread this out nice and evenly.
4:50
It's a really thick batter. Now, I've
4:53
got my oven preheated at 325°.
4:56
We're going to bake it per the
4:58
instructions on the back of the brownie
5:01
package. I'll be back. So, we still need
5:03
to crack these up.
5:06
All right, I pulled the brownies out. I
5:08
already checked with a toothpick the
5:10
dness of the brownies. As you can see
5:12
right there, just insert and come back
5:13
up. It's nice and clean. Now, it can
5:16
have a little fudgess to it, and that's
5:17
totally fine. So, we want to work
5:19
quickly with these. And we're going to
5:22
prepare it kind of like you would a poke
5:25
cake. So, what we're going to do is
5:26
while these are extremely nice and hot,
5:29
let's take my towel here. Hold your pan.
5:32
Take a knife and I'm just going to take
5:33
the back end of it and we're going to
5:36
poke holes
5:40
just like this. Wherever you want them.
5:42
You want to get sweetened condensed
5:45
milk. Now, this is a 14 oz can.
5:51
All right. You want to aim for the holes
5:53
that we just punched into the cake.
5:58
We're looking at about half a can.
6:04
All right. Take a spatula and we're just
6:06
going to smooth it across the top. Kind
6:10
of pressing into the holes.
6:13
Got to work fast with this. That looks
6:16
good. Take your favorite chocolate
6:19
chips. We want to get these on there
6:21
ASAP.
6:24
So, sprinkle those across the top.
6:29
We're going to let those sit on there.
6:32
So, the steam from the brownies will
6:35
come up and melt those chocolate chips.
6:38
I'm going to come back once this has
6:40
cooled down and the chips have melted a
6:41
little bit. We've cooled this down. What
6:44
we're going to do is take a knife and
6:47
just kind of smear the chocolate chips
6:51
like an icing.
6:53
Oh, doesn't that look good? All right,
6:56
let's cut a piece. Give it a try.
6:59
All right, what do y'all think? All
7:01
right, I got my spoon.
7:04
Got my ice cream.
7:07
It's always blue bell, isn't it? All
7:10
right, let's take a bite.
7:18
That is very scrumptious for sure.
7:22
Make sure you put ice cream with that
7:24
one. And I am fixing to make for you hot
7:28
cocoa Oreo brownies. It's really easy.
7:32
The first thing we're going to do is
7:33
start with a box of brownie mix,
7:35
whatever you have. And we're going to
7:38
prepare the batter per the directions on
7:40
the back of the package. Now, I'm using
7:42
the Ghirardelli Ultimate Chocolate
7:45
Premium Brownie Mix. And this one has
7:47
chocolate syrup and chips in it.
7:50
Whatever you get, that'll make it the
7:52
ultimate. Right. All right. When you get
7:54
that all combined,
7:56
we're going to add some hot cocoa
7:59
now. I've got a container here. You can
8:02
even use the little packs and just pour
8:04
them into a cup until you get to a/4
8:06
cup. And we're going to put it into the
8:08
mixture here.
8:11
Now, we're going to combine this
8:12
together. Going to use the whisk. Blend
8:15
it in.
8:17
Now, don't over mix. Just want to make
8:19
sure that all the powder is absorbed.
8:22
Now, we're going to be using an 8 by8
8:24
baking dish. Now, what I'm going to do
8:26
is just take some cooking spray to spray
8:29
the bottom of our baking dish.
8:32
That'll help our parchment sit in there
8:36
really good. So, I'm just going to take
8:37
it, kind of crush it up. Going to unroll
8:39
it. We're going to put it in there.
8:45
That'll help us get these brownies out.
8:47
That way we can cut them into like bar
8:49
shapes. Now, what you want to do is take
8:51
half of your batter
8:53
and we're going to put it into the
8:54
baking dish and then just smooth it on
8:57
the bottom. I just went and grabbed my
8:59
spoon here. Big spoon. I think we'll go
9:03
one more. There we go. Now, I'm just
9:06
going to spread it out. All right. There
9:09
we go. Just like that. All right, y'all.
9:12
Go get your favorite Oreos. I'm using
9:14
the chocolate Oreos, which means it's
9:16
the Oreo and instead of that cream white
9:19
center, it's a chocolate cream center.
9:22
We're gonna make it all chocolate today.
9:31
All right, there is a thief of Oreos in
9:35
this house today. Okay, y'all guys, come
9:38
up here. We're going to lay these on top
9:40
of the brownie batter. Now, what you
9:42
want to do is place the cookies on top
9:44
of the batter as evenly as you can. Nice
9:48
rows. And I got four in there. All
9:50
right. Looks like we're going to get 16
9:53
cookies in here.
9:56
Like that. Can y'all see all 16 of them
9:59
in there? Now, we're going to take the
10:01
remainder of the brownie batter and
10:04
we're going to put it all on top of the
10:06
cookies and then smooth it out evenly.
10:10
All right. That's what it's supposed to
10:11
look like. I've got my oven preheated at
10:14
325°.
10:16
We're going to bake the brownies with
10:18
Oreos in them per the instructions on
10:20
the back of whatever brownie mix you're
10:23
using. Just check the ingredients. If
10:25
you're using an 8 by8, make sure that
10:27
you bake it per that instruction. Mine
10:28
is going to take about 40 to 45 minutes.
10:31
We're going to come back cuz we still
10:33
got to make this a hot cocoa brownie.
10:35
Okay, so our brownies came out of the
10:37
oven. Now, let them rest for about 5 to
10:40
10 minutes. Now, we're going to make the
10:42
topping.
10:44
I'm going to be using these Ghirardelli
10:46
milk chocolate flavored melting wafers.
10:48
We're going to use about one cup of
10:50
these. We're going to put them into a
10:53
microwave safe bowl, or you can do the
10:55
double boiler if you're used to that
10:57
method.
10:59
I'm going to melt these per the
11:01
instructions on the back of the package.
11:03
We got the brownies over here. And what
11:06
we're going to do is pour this on top.
11:12
All right, we're going to smooth that
11:13
out.
11:17
Nice and even on the top. It's going to
11:18
start setting up on you, so you want to
11:20
be kind of quick with this step. Right
11:22
here, we are going to be using some of
11:23
these jetpuffed bits. They're vanilla
11:26
marshmallows. We're going to sprinkle
11:28
them on top.
11:30
Kind of like hot chocolate.
11:33
There we go.
11:36
Now carve out a space in your
11:37
refrigerator for your 8 by8 baking dish.
11:40
We're going to chill this for only 10 to
11:43
15 minutes.
11:44
Yay.
11:46
Then we're going to pull it out of the
11:47
baking dish. We're going to slice it up.
11:50
Give it a try for you. Okay, here's my
11:53
hot cocoa Oreo cookie brownies.
11:57
Oh man,
11:58
look at those layers. Brownie cookie,
12:01
brownie, chocolate wafers, and
12:05
marshmallows.
12:07
It's still warm in the middle.
12:10
Nice and gooey.
12:11
Mhm.
12:12
Still get the crunch from the cookie a
12:13
little bit. Yeah. I'm Catherine. Today
12:17
we have a low carb dessert for you guys.
12:20
You've been asking for them and we've
12:22
been trying to put them together and get
12:24
a nice low carb one ready for you. This
12:27
one is a brookie, which is the cross
12:30
between a chocolate chip cookie and a
12:33
brownie. And keeping it low carb, it's
12:36
gonna be interesting. All right, so
12:39
somewhere in this nine ingredients is
12:43
your chocolate chip cookie dough, your
12:45
brownie dough, and also the brookie,
12:49
which we're going to fit into an 8 by8
12:52
pan. I just lined it with some
12:54
parchment. So, we're going to put 1 and
12:56
1/3 cup of almond flour into a medium
13:00
bowl. Now, we're going to add a few dry
13:02
ingredients to this. We're going to add
13:04
in 13 cup of stevia. This is just your
13:09
granulated sugar. There we go. Half a
13:13
teaspoon of
13:15
Let me get my spoon here. Baking soda.
13:22
All right, let's whisk this together.
13:25
and blend it really well.
13:30
Now, you're going to want very soft
13:32
butter. And we're going to use 1/4 cup.
13:35
Four tablespoons. I'm going to put it in
13:38
here in tablespoons.
13:41
Two.
13:42
Three. And four.
13:45
I'm going to grab a fork.
13:48
And then what you want to do is
13:49
incorporate the almond flour into the
13:52
butter. So, we're just going to keep
13:54
pressing it in till we get a nice crumb.
13:58
That's perfect. All right, let's crack
14:00
in two eggs.
14:05
One.
14:07
There we go, y'all. I messed that up
14:09
already. Let me get a spoon here.
14:14
One egg goes in.
14:17
There we go. We'll save that for the
14:19
other brownie part of the recipe. I had
14:22
two eggs sitting there and put them both
14:24
in when I didn't need to. All right, we
14:26
need half a teaspoon of vanilla.
14:30
All right, we're going to grab our fork.
14:32
We're going to mix this together. Again,
14:39
things happen in the kitchen. That's
14:41
what happens when you don't follow the
14:42
direction.
14:44
I just assume.
14:46
Okay. Now, what we're going to do is
14:47
just kind of put in one/3 cup of
14:50
chocolate chips.
14:52
Now, I'm using these right here. This is
14:54
a dark chocolate chip. You can even use
14:58
um sugar-free chocolate chips or semieet
15:01
chocolate chips. They just add a little
15:04
bit more sugar.
15:06
The uh semieet.
15:10
All right.
15:12
13 cup.
15:16
All right, just stir to combine.
15:20
All right, let's set this aside. Let's
15:22
make the brownie batter.
15:25
We're going to need the almond flour
15:26
again.
15:30
And we're going to add in 2/3 cup.
15:37
It's going to be a smaller batter.
15:40
We're going to do half a cup. There it
15:42
is. of our stevia.
15:47
There we go. We're going to do our dry
15:50
ingredients first.
15:52
We're going to need 1/4 cup of
15:54
unsweetened
15:56
cocoa powder.
15:59
There we go. We got it. Half a teaspoon
16:02
of baking powder.
16:07
And again, since I'm using salt in the
16:10
butter, I'm not going to be putting any
16:12
salt. Now, if I wasn't doing if I was
16:14
using unsalted butter, then I would put
16:16
about an eighth of a teaspoon of salt in
16:18
there. We're going to whisk that up
16:20
together.
16:23
It's going to be the same process.
16:26
Once we get this in, we'll put in the
16:28
butter. And we're only going to put in,
16:31
let me go check, three tablespoons.
16:35
One.
16:37
Two. I know y'all can count.
16:40
Y'all are like, I can count. There we
16:43
go. Three in there. We'll get our fork
16:49
and we'll blend it in.
16:52
All right. We're going to crack another
16:54
egg.
17:04
All right, we're going to mix that in.
17:09
This is the only liquid.
17:11
We're going to get that mixed in. We'll
17:13
add some chocolate chips, the dark
17:15
chocolate ones that I have. Just a very
17:17
few. Okay,
17:19
there we go. Mix those in. And let's
17:22
build our brookie.
17:24
We're going to take 2/3 of our cookie
17:26
batter and we're going to put it down
17:29
into the our prepared pan.
17:33
That's good. Good. Right there.
17:36
I'm going to wet my fingers
17:39
and then we'll flatten this down
17:44
to the edges.
17:46
Make sure your hands are nice and clean.
17:50
All right, we'll smooth that out. Wash
17:52
my hands. All right, we're going to
17:54
bring over the brownie mix.
17:58
All right, I'm just going to doll up the
17:59
brownie mix around.
18:02
It'll be easier to spread out if we do
18:04
that. Like this right here. All right.
18:06
So, what we're going to do now is just
18:07
spread it out. And you can use your
18:09
fingers if you want the spoon. It
18:11
doesn't have to be perfect because, you
18:12
know, this is a brookie,
18:15
but we do want to kind of have it nice
18:17
and even.
18:19
So, it cooks what? Nice and even. Yes.
18:23
So, at least every bite has a brownie in
18:25
it, right? All right. Now, we're going
18:28
to bring back the rest of that cookie
18:29
dough. All
18:31
right, y'all. Life is short. Lick the
18:35
spoon. Maybe not this with the eggs in
18:38
it, but you can pretend you did. All
18:40
right, so I'm just going to dollop
18:43
the rest of that cookie batter around.
18:48
Leave the brownie in between. That way,
18:51
you know, it pops up in between the
18:52
cookie batter here.
18:56
People know what they're going to be
18:57
eating, right? Okay, you guys. I got my
19:00
oven preheated at 350°.
19:03
We're going to bake this for 25 to 30
19:06
minutes. We're going to allow it to
19:08
cool, and then we're going to cut these
19:10
into bite-sized pieces.
19:13
Look at that, you guys.
19:18
Look how fluffy that brownie is in
19:20
there.
19:21
All right, let's give this a try.
19:27
M.
19:34
That is light and fluffy.
19:38
You would never know that you gave up
19:40
that allpurpose flour for almond flour.
19:49
Duck down.
19:50
Oh, there he is.
19:54
Wow.
19:55
Oh, that's good.
19:59
Y'all, this is a winner. Nice and
20:03
scrumptious.
20:05
I love the dark chocolate.
20:07
Mhm. Today, I'm going to show you how to
20:10
make cream cheese brownies. It's like a
20:12
two layer dessert kind of swirled
20:14
together to give you a delicious bite
20:17
every time. We're going to start with
20:19
the dry ingredients that I have out
20:21
here. We're going to start off with 2/3
20:24
cup of allpurpose flour.
20:28
And then I'm going to put the baking
20:29
powder and the salt in. Also,
20:39
we're going to add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
20:44
And we're going to put in half a
20:46
teaspoon of baking powder.
20:50
All right. All right. Now, if you
20:51
already have it in your small bowl, you
20:52
can just whisk it together with a whisk,
20:54
or you can just take your sifter that
20:56
has the dry ingredients in there and
20:57
just start sifting.
21:04
We're going to set this aside.
21:07
The next step is we're going to melt our
21:08
chocolate. Now, there's two different
21:10
ways you can do this. You can put the
21:12
chocolate chips and the butter in a
21:13
microwave safe bowl, place it in your
21:16
microwave, and start melting it that
21:18
way. or you can do it in a double
21:21
boiler, which is what I'm going to do.
21:23
The melted chocolate, we're going to add
21:26
one cup,
21:32
white granulated sugar.
21:37
We're going to put in two teaspoon
21:40
of vanilla extract.
21:49
or a little extra. That always happens,
21:51
doesn't it?
21:54
We're going to whisk this together.
21:57
Okay, we don't need to over mix, but
22:00
what we're going to do is cool this down
22:03
first before we add our eggs. So, give
22:06
it about 10 to 15 minutes and then we'll
22:09
start incorporating the eggs. That'll
22:10
keep the eggs from scrambling when we
22:13
put it in. Okay, it's cooled down
22:16
considerably. What we're going to do now
22:18
is crack three eggs into the mixture one
22:21
at a time and then whisk it one at a
22:24
time.
22:26
All right. Once it's all incorporated,
22:28
we're going to go ahead and take our
22:29
flour, salt, and baking powder that we
22:31
had whisked or sifted it together. Add
22:34
that and whisk it together.
22:40
I'm going to do it half at a time. Get
22:41
the first half going.
22:44
All right. Make sure all the flour is
22:45
incorporated on the bottom. All right.
22:48
We're going to set this aside.
22:50
We're going to bring over a small bowl.
22:53
We're going to place in 8 oz of cream
22:56
cheese.
22:58
You want to make sure that it is room
22:59
temperature and very soft. We're going
23:02
to add half a teaspoon
23:05
vanilla extract or pure vanilla.
23:14
One egg yolk. I separated it from the
23:18
egg white.
23:21
1/4 cup white and granulated sugar.
23:26
We're going to take an electric hand
23:28
mixer. We're going to cream this all
23:30
together until it is nice and smooth and
23:32
everything is well incorporated.
23:39
Okay, we're going to go ahead now and
23:41
start preparing our baking pan. Now, I'm
23:44
using an 11 by seven and then it's about
23:48
1 and 1/2 in deep. So, I've already
23:52
placed some foil in it and got it in
23:54
line. And then I'm going to spray that
23:56
with some cooking spray. Now, I did the
23:58
foil that way we can pull it out of the
24:00
pan and cut them into squares easily.
24:08
That spray kind of went everywhere.
24:12
Okay, what we're going to do now is
24:13
place half of the brownie batter into
24:16
our pan.
24:19
We're going to take the cream cheese
24:21
mixture and we're just going to kind of
24:23
divide it in half there. And then we're
24:25
going to spoon half of it on top of the
24:27
brownie batter. I'm just using two
24:29
spoons to kind of help.
24:34
We're going to place the rest of the
24:35
brownie batter on top.
24:45
Going to place the rest of the cream
24:47
cheese mixture and dollop on top of
24:50
that.
24:54
We're going to take a knife and we're
24:56
going to swirl everything together.
25:01
Now, don't over swirl.
25:05
You don't want it all mixed together.
25:08
You want two layers.
25:16
Oh, doesn't that look good?
25:19
Now, brownies cook differently in the
25:22
oven. I've preheated it at 325°
25:27
and it says, "Bake until the edges of
25:29
your brownies have puffed slightly. The
25:35
center of your brownies are not going to
25:36
feel firm when touched." And then a
25:40
toothpick inserted into the center comes
25:44
out with several moist crumbs on it.
25:47
Now, you don't normally see that with a
25:49
cake recipe, okay? So, with brownies,
25:51
you do you want to have like fudgy
25:54
crumbs on the toothpick. All right,
25:58
we're going to bake this between 50 to
26:00
60 minutes. Just keep an eye on it. So,
26:03
you want to adjust your oven rack to the
26:05
lower middle. Okay, so you go to the
26:08
middle and then come down one and adjust
26:10
it there.
26:12
Okay, we've cooled it down. So, what
26:14
we're going to do is pop the foil along
26:17
the sides, pull it out.
26:33
All right, that'll make for really easy
26:35
cutting. So, I'm going to put this on a
26:36
cutting board and then we're going to
26:37
cut pieces.
26:46
I am ready to take a bite of these
26:49
delicious cream cheese brownies.
26:54
They look so moist.
27:08
They have a fudgy consistency. That's
27:11
delicious. Mhm.
27:17
A little chewy.
27:19
I love that cream cheese in there. It's
27:22
almost cakey like.
