5. Melt Chocolate & Butter
In a small microwave‑safe bowl, melt butter and bittersweet chocolate in 30‑second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth (about 2 minutes total).
6. Whisk Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until combined (about 30 seconds).
Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
7. Add Flour
Stir in the flour with a spatula until just combined.

Pudding Layer
9. Prep the Yolks
Once the brownie layer is cooled, whisk the egg yolks in a small heat‑proof bowl to loosen. Set aside.
10. Cook the Base
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Slowly whisk in the milk.
Cook over medium‑high heat, whisking frequently, until thickened (about 5 minutes).
11. Temper the Yolks
Slowly whisk about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks.
Whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
12. Finish the Pudding
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (2–3 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla until melted and smooth.
13. Layer & Chill
Pour the pudding over the brownie layer.
Cool at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or overnight.
