Gluten-Free Deep Dish Hot Fudge Gluten Free Brownies for Two -> CLICK HERE TO PIN THIE RECIPE
Recipes for two are a brilliant idea if you are planning a date night in. Often these special meals require a bit more work or perhaps more expensive ingredients, so paring it down to serve just you and a special someone make sit easier and more economical. Plus, dessert for two means I don’t have a bunch leftover in my freezer, which still is home to several of these and these because I made wayyyy too many Christmas cookies.
As a food blogger, I have a love/hate relationship with holidays. Yes, I do savory and sweet recipes here, but when it comes to holidays, I want to make treats. And when I make dessert, well, as I told you the other day, I eat the dessert. Even the failures (this was THE BEST FAILURE EVER!!). I also take 87 billion photos and then have to pare them down and edit them. And then I still want to post them all. And then I snap a few for Instagram and by the time I’m ready for the “real” photos shoot, this lovely perfectly puffed, crackly-topped brownie…
Totally sunk in the middle. But you know what, these are still a total success because not only did I achieve crackly-top brownie perfection, these brownies also had the perfect fudgy (not cake) texture, plus the gooey hot fudge center that I was going for. I mean, when you have hot fudge IN THE MIDDLE of your brownie, you gotta expect a little collapsing, right? If it bothers you that much, fill it up with ice cream.
Actually I have one of these brownies in the freezer with a scoop of ice cream in it because I was going to include some photos of that too, and, shhh, food blogger photography tip – if you don’t want your ice cream to melt all over your brownie while you are taking pictures (and undoubtedly tending to a whining preschooler or crying baby mid-photo shoot), don’t put the ice cream on the hot brownie. It’ll look the same even if it’s frozen. Of course, then you have a week like I did with three snow days for the aforementioned preschooler, and an insufficient amount of napping leading to an excessive amount of crankiness for the aforementioned baby and, you know, the planned a la mode photo shoot never happens.
Also, then I’d have more photos to edit, which requires even more time that I don’t have. And then the ice cream would be melting, so naturally I’d have to immediately consume said brownie. Which would mean that I would have consumed two of the Gluten-Free Deep Dish Hot Fudge Brownies.. for two, since naturally The Bug and I had to taste test and ice cream-less one shortly after I took the photos, you know, just to make sure I had achieved hot fudge center perfection.
Mission: Accomplished
So eat them straight out of the oven, top them with ice cream – your call. Just make them. They take no time, you won’t have an entire pan that you pick at for the rest of the day week. And as far as the gluten free aspect of it – don’t let that stress you out. Look at this ingredient list – nothing crazy. And use the rest of the brown rice flour to make cauliflower wings, since that totally cancels out the brownies.

Oh, yeah, these are winners!!! Ice cream is a PAIN to photograph, but thank goodness these brownies are gorgeous (and perfectly gooey) even without it 🙂
I know, I really wanted to put on ice cream, but I also wanted to showcase the gooeyness!
Deep Dish & Hot Fudge — they belong together – this sounds so yummy!
I know, don’t they?!
You had me at gluten free, but I think these are the best darn brownies I’ve ever seen – pinning to make immediately! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I may have done just that!
Oh my goodness! These look so decadent! How I wish I could try one of them just now!! Great photos!

Come on over – I have one in the freezer. We can warm it up to make it all gooey again!
I think I need to eat 2 to be sure I got enough fudgy goodness!
Cindys Recipes and Writings recently posted…Chocolate Marshmallow Duet for #SundaySupper recipes for Two
Haha, definitely!
Your post reminds me of my life right now. I use to have a goal for my blog that I would get better with my photo shoots but the older my daughter got and the more I started working the less time I had for my blog. I finally decided to not worry about the photography, that will come when I have time again in my life. (When ever that is) At least you know you have a sneaky treat in the freezer for those crazy days when you need some chocolate.
Yeah, I am definitely squeezing in what I can! And sometimes, squeezing in some extra chocolate is what I need 😉
LOVE the advice on “if the sunken center bothers you fill it with Ice Cream”. Since I am carb restricted due to diabetes I’d fill it with whipped cream…. looks amazing!!!!!
Well that sounds like an amazing idea too!
Gorgeous pics … my tummy is totally grumbling! This looks fantastic … fudgy, ice-cream welcoming, gooey, sunken center and all!!! Great idea to make this a recipe for two for a date night! So glad I found your blog! 😀

Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen recently posted…Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes
The gluten free folks gotta enjoy crackly, fishy brownies too! 🙂
Hi – thank you so much for sharing – these look delicious! I was wondering if you thought I might be able to prepare these earlier in the day and put them in the fridge in the ramekins and then bake during dinner? I definitely plan to make them for Valentine’s day but would prefer not to interrupt the evening by making dessert! Thanks!
Hmm, I haven’t tried that. Not sure how well it would work because the melted chocolate would re-solidify, but perhaps you could slightly underbake, then warm them up in the microwave or for a few minutes in the oven.
Sinking in the middle just means the perfect bowl for a scoop of ice cream 😉
Carla recently posted…Baked Cherry Cheesecake Wontons with Chocolate Dipping Sauce
Exactly!!
This looks amazing. I really want to try these but my son is allergic to almonds. Is there something I could use instead of the almond flour. I am new to gluten-free baking and really don’t know much about the different flours yet.
Hmm, I am also somewhat dabbling and base my recipes off of others, so don’t know a lot about substituting. I think you really have to experiment.
Oh my… yummy!!!!

How did I miss these?! They look sooo good! Definitely going to make these at some point! Think I’ll try a totally grain-free version and see if that works. And hey, I love the pictures and how they came out! 😀
Erin @ Texanerin Baking recently posted…Chocolate Banana Muffins (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)
Ooh, I’d love to see how it works out grain-free! I want to try different fillings instead of the chocolate chips. Thanks Erin!
Oh my goodness! Why did I not see this when it was first posted???!!!! So making these ASAP! Yum!
Haha, it’s OK, you have the recipe now!
Brianne, this is perfect! Because I for one do *not* need a whole bunch of brownies hanging around calling my name!
I know! Leftover brownies are dangerous!
What can i substitute instead of rice flour and almond meal? i am not particular about gluten free… its a lowly recipe and dying to try it..
Here is the original recipe I based mine on http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/2013/02/12/deep-dish-hot-fudge-brownie-sundaes-for-two/
Hi I love the sound of this. But none in my family is gluten intolerant. Could we substitute all purpose flour instead?
Sorry so late responding. I got a little behind on comment around the holidays. I based it on this recipe, so maybe you want to try this one –> http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/2013/02/12/deep-dish-hot-fudge-brownie-sundaes-for-two/
This recipe is wonderful. I don’t use rice flour because of the arsenic and high glycemic index. I substituted the rice flour for sorghum flour and it worked great. I think I could also use millet. Thanks for sharing!
lpferris recently posted…Gluten Free Graham Crackers
Good to know! I’ll have to try that some time.
This looks GREAT!! Do you know if I could sub Stevia for the sugar and Ghee or coconut oil for the butter?
Thanks!!
I have not tried it, and don’t really know a lot about how to convert to the amount of Stevia, but if you try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out.
