Tuesdays with Dorie - Rick Katz's Brownies for Julia

Brownies. Yum!

I was all over the idea of these brownies for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie.

And...I was even more excited that these were Rick Katz's Brownies for Julia. As in Julia Child. As in Julia Child the French Chef. As in "I just read 'My Life in France' by Julia Child. As in "My name is Becky and I'm currently smitten with the lovely Julia Child."

So you can see that I was really excited to try this recipe.

Well, the recipe was good. I adore the method that Rick Katz used to treat the eggs in the recipe. He separates the yolk from the whites, and beats the whites then folds them in. (you know, like you do in pancakes sometimes...) Anyway, the recipe was delicious. And I even used more Amano Chocolate.

The only problem was that the baking time for me. I was so confused because the recipe said that it would be "jiggly" and well, the middle of my brownies never set up. But...we managed to get some good pieces and even took care of that jiggly middle!

In an attempt to not waste the brownies I made a cool dessert with these brownies that consisted of raspberries (frozen from the in-law's garden), white chocolate ice cream (that I made with Amano Chocolate's white chocolate/cocoa butter) and these brownies! It was divine!

You can snatch the recipe off of Tany's blog, Chocolatechic. Be sure to check over the other Tuesdays with Dorie baker's blogs. I for one am very interested to see how theirs turned out!

I had to bake mine twice because they were so runny in the middle. They were still so good, though. Your dessert combo sounds and looks very good.

I like the way you salvaged the runny brownie problem - adding ice cream is always a good idea!

Berries and ice cream - that's the way to embellish this recipe. Well done!

Oh my gosh, those look so good with the raspberries and white chocolate ice cream! I had a really hard time knowing when these were done - it's so much easier when you just need to wait for the middle to be dry.
