The delicious dessert requires only a few ingredients and minimal prep. It's a warm and comforting dish that's perfect for the holidays. It's time to gather our loved ones and ring in the most important holiday of the year. I'm talking, obviously, about Ina Garten 's wedding anniversary. This week, the "Barefoot Contessa" star and her beloved husband Jeffrey celebrated 57 years of marriage. There's no better way to honor these two lovebirds than with Garten's famous brownie pudding, which pays tribute to the very first dessert she whipped up to win his heart. Here's how to make it. Ina Garten's brownie pudding has been going viral on TikTok for the past month. Garten's brownie pudding first appeared in her 2008 cookbook "Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics."
