Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9x12-inch baking dish. Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot tap water into the outer roasting pan so that it comes about halfway up the sides of the brownie dish. This creates a water bath, which helps the pudding cook evenly and stay moist.

Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, indicating a fudgy consistency.

Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Carefully lift the brownie pudding dish out of the water bath. Let it cool completely before serving. Serve with your favorite ice cream.
