A minty-fresh recipe for ultra-chocolate brownies from the blog of pastry chef David Lebovitz, author of The Sweet Life in Paris from Baked David Lebovitz - living the sweet life in Paris
The classic combination of meringue and strawberries gets a new twist in this recipe. Pistachios and brown sugar add a depth of flavor to the meringue, rose water perfumes the whipped cream and mascarpone filling, and everything comes together to highlight the luscious taste of ripe strawberries. This recipe was originally inspired by Nigella Lawson's Gooey Chocolate Stack. Summer, and leftover ingredients from a recent tryst with kheer (Indian rice pudding) inspired this version. You can locate pistachios and rose water at any Indian or Middle-Eastern store; if not, I'm sure the combination of almonds and pure vanilla would be equally delightful. This delicious dessert also happens to be gluten-free. - Heena

The best-kept secret of your chewy-cookie-making friends revealed: pudding. Savor these chocolaty creations, then try our pistachio, lemon and vanilla variations.
