We recently celebrated Jenelle’s birthday. Thank you to everyone who so kindly thought of her.  We had a picnic in a local park. Instead of a cake, Jenelle requested a Brownie Puddle.  As you can see from the picture below, this was no mere brownie — it was a circular celebration of chocolate, with little pools of ganache dotting its surface. With some whipped cream on top, it was very delicious, and very rich.  So rich, actually, that it was hard to eat more than one piece. But, the cookbook says that it freezes well, so we’re saving some puddle parts for another time. The next time you’re in town, ask for a slice of brownie puddle.
