    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 года назад +254

      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.

    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 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

    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 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.

    Surprised the Babish ones weren't cakey, more eggs makes it cakey. I would never use 6 eggs in brownies.

I've seen Alvin's brownies recipe and also his 150 hour cake video that took a week but I guess it needs time to blend one with nature. Glad you got to try them all.

    I've done the Alvin experiment: 0 days- barely any worse; 1 day- same as 4 day; days 2-4 same. Brownies to me are just someone who liked cake and fudge, but wanted the process to be as easy and painless as cookies. Alvin's recipe is good, but I really don't believe in the long stint in the fridge making a big difference. What I do to remedy this is division of batter; I let the 9x9 pan "ferment" in the fridge, while I immediately bake a 9x4 loaf pan for brownies that night. The most valuable thing I found out through Alvin's method though, was that cold, fudgey brownies like his are better than warm ones.

    Seems like there are some possibilities to take the flavor to the next level without having to wait for four days. Also, the 100 hour brownies went from oven to freezer first for 30 minutes, then to the refrigerator. The temperature drop shocks the brownie and keeps the moisture in the product.
