    I've made Alvin's 100-hour brownie and baked three versions: (1) Immediately after making the batter...they were somewhat bitter. (2) One day before the baking was to take place...they were more mellow and I tasted more of the brown butter and expresso, and (3) after the full time in the fridge. Fully bloomed flavors of espresso, deep chocolate, browned butter, and only a slight slight bitterness. Totally worth the effort!

    The coffee ice cube Alvin adds to his browned butter isn't just for flavor, it's also to compensate for the moisture that was evaporated out of the butter when it was browned. You could use ice, but coffee adds an extra kick. I love Alvin's videos, glad you included his brownie recipe!

    Babish's turned out dry because you used Dutch process cocoa in a recipe with baking powder. You can use normal cocoa with baking powder, or Dutch process with baking soda. Otherwise you get that weird dry texture.

    • @laurachavez5559
      @laurachavez5559 3 ปีที่แล้ว +253

      Actually you can use Dutch process cocoa with baking powder and you must use baking soda with natural cocoa to neutralize its acidity (that's what can dry any baked goods), Dutch process it's already neutralized. I think the brownies were dry because of the flour, because the chewy texture comes more from the sugar than anything else.

    I LOVE brownies. Not the cakey gross ones in the store. The gooey, fudgy ones that even the corners have a great chew on them. I love Alvin but I don't have the patience to wait that long and pay that much to make brownies. I saw a Tik Tok recipe recently that made Oreo ravioli. That might be interesting to try.

    What so great about brownies IMO is that the recipes are so flexible. Claire is really the queen of small flavor profile additions (like the malt) that just change the flavor profile enough to make it unique. I think Claire's recipe is the winner for me just without the milk chocolate chips (maybe sub semi-sweet or leave out) and then some instant expresso powder when adding the malt in for a little extra kick. Maybe even steal the brown butter and coffee trick from Alvin's recipe. Love it

    I do a variation on Adam Ragusea's sweetened condensed milk brownies. The recipe is mostly the same besides a few minor tweaks, but the big change comes from what *I* do with the sweetened condensed milk... I simmer it. Yup, I simmer cans of sweetened condensed milk for several hours until I have cans of dulce de leche that I add directly into the mix... They are sinfully delicious.

    I legit cannot find a version of the Tasty recipe where it specifies that the butter should be unsalted, so I *super* appreciate you being specific when you listed your ingredients. The fact that you've made them so many times and they turn out so well gives me some serious confidence I can do it too.

  • @distilledwill

    The Tasty brownies are my go-to as well, they are always a hit whenever I do them.
    I'm kinda tempted to try some of the tips from the other recipes in the Tasty recipe. Browned butter with the coffee ice cube to stop any burning. Malted milk powder. Espresso powder. Leaving the tray in the fridge either overnight or even just a few hours to see what happens.

I also cook halfway and then remove from the oven for 15 minutes and then return to the oven until done. (This is from Alton Brown.). They are absolutely fantastic. I would never have found the Tasty recipe if not for your channel. 🥰🥰

    I have made the 100 hour brownies a few times and I love them. I can tell you that I got impatient while waiting my second time making it and baked the brownies after only a day. the brownie flavor was just too strong with all the coffee and chocolate flavors. It wasn’t very good to be completely honest. Defiantly letting it sit for that long of time really let’s the flavor become cohesive. And the last day of putting it fridge after it bakes just makes the texture of the brownie that much better (compared to letting it cool at room temp right away after baking). I’m going to have to try the tasty brownies so that I have another go to recipe for brownies that don’t take me 4 days lol
