Saving under cooked brownies

[azturtle]

Is there any way to save under cooked brownies? As I was just cutting my cooled brownies, I realized that they're way too gooey. If I put them back in the oven, will that finish the job?

Is there a problem with undercooked brownies??? (Not in my world!). I'd get that spoon out and dig in!!! :-)

[Cynsa]

agree :-)
I take a spoonful of the underbaked brownie and shape into a ball; roll in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or powdered sugar and it's a truffle ball of goodness.

I love underbaked brownies also. I have an 8x11 ceramic baking dish. i use one brownies mix boxed, lower the egg to one extra large. Cook on 350 degrees for 38-40 minuites. I like walnuts. Everyone wants some more of them. all around town. lol

I just put them back in the oven without turning the heat on. Usually it's got enough heat left in it to cook them a bit more without burning

I love the crispy bits and slightly gooey in the center. Plus when they cool they'll firm up even more

A quick nuke may be worth a try. Take one and nuke for 30 sec.

Ok Treb thanks for responding. here what i've done so far I nukes one in a paper towel for 1;30 seconds. a bit too long as it did taste a little burnt. but i did so because i realized my brownies were a whole 20 minutes under baked. i would not do 1:30 again. Next time i'll listen to you and do 30 secs thanks...

ipsedixit is poster ipsedixit's name. He suggested ice cream. I agreed.

[treb]

I believe he is a SHE!

[Jay F]

Oh, okay. SHE suggested brownies with ice cream.

That blue logo thingy looks like a boy.

I googled this question because I once underbaked my famous brownies and they burned beyond being edible. I did it last night again. i don't want fudge i want my brownies. If I cook them again and let you know

[Popkin]

I've just stuck them in the fridge and served cold, calling it "baked fudge" :D

I love underbaked brownies but have underbaked them a minute or two too much a few times. I just slipped them back into the oven and they were just fine. If they dry out for some reason just cover with ganache or buttercream.

[maplesugar]

or if they get overbaked from the 2nd turn in the oven poke a few holes in em, douse with your fave liquor like baileys, kahlua etc and layer with whipped cream in a trifle :)

[visciole]

Can you fit them back into the pan so that they are pretty snug? If so, i would think you could re-bake a bit without too much ill effect.

[azturtle]

They should fit back in fine. I'd lined the pan with foil so they just lifted right out. I'll see how it works out. Thanks!

[visciole]

How did they come out?

[ipsedixit]

You can certainly re-bake them, but you run the risk of drying them out.

My suggestion? Freeze them and pair with some ice cream. Yum.

And an excellent suggestion it is, ipsedixit.
