That Brownie loaf dessert filled and covered with whipped cream looks delicious and like it would be a great dessert for company and easy to make.

If I were going to make it I’d add 2 tsp of unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 tbs. cold water, then microwaved for 10 secs to the whipped cream just as it was beginning to stiffen. That way the Brownie loaf would keep in the fridge for a few days without the whipped cream becoming runny.

This works great for any dessert made with whipped cream. Gives professional results. The never fail formula is 1 tsp. gelatin to 1 tbs cold water for each cup of un whipped cream. Just be sure to heat the mixture either in the MW or over boiling water until its completely dissolved. Then add it during the last stage of whipping and continue whipping until stiff.

Agreed on the brownie dessert. Some nice fresh toasted walnuts would really be delicious. Just make sure you've got the big size brownie mix. There is some Dr. Oetker packets for stabilizing whipped cream that work very nicely too.

Mr. Vlasic just died---he sold his pickle company to Campbells. (Michigan has lots of pickle companie as the environs are perfect for cucumber cultivation).

brownie mix

Just had a brownie discussion last weekend.  Went out for a steak dinner for one of my cousin's Bday. They were planning on having all the kid's over on Sunday, and the cake was planned for then.  The birthday boy was joking about having a box of brownie mix in the pantry, and we all said mix it up for a snack while we played cards. The consensus was that the box mix tasted "off' and only the real thing was worth it.

 

So out came the ingredients and in 5-10 minutes more than using the mix a real brownie was in the oven. We all enjoyed the desert, and yes it was better than the box version.
 
I haven’t used a Brownie mix in several years. My never fail recipe is:

I cup flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla

In a med. size glass bowl melt chocolate and butter in MW. Add dark brown sugar, vanilla and egg and mix well with wire whisk. In a small bowl mix flour, salt and baking powder, then add to wet ingredients and mix well. Line the bottom of an 8”x8” pan with parchment paper and butter bottom and sides of pan. Place batter in pan and level it. Bake at 325 F for 20-25 mins. Test with toothpick, should come out clean. Cool for 20 mins on rack then turn out on cooling rack and cool thoroughly. Cut into size brownie you like. For 9”x13’ pan double recipe.

Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts it desired before baking.

I make my own marijuana edibles and I use this recipe substituting 1/2 cup Canna Butter for the butter (I make the Canna Butter myself too). The richness of the dark brown sugar and chocolate cover the taste of the pot almost completely. I cut the 8” pan recipe into 64 equal pieces about the size of the end of my thumb which gives me 64 individual doses and lasts me for 64 days to take the edge off of my arthritic pain. I store them in the freezer so they stay fresh.
