Traeger Marbled Brownies

These brownies are a cinch to whip up, and make a scrumptious ending—the cherry on top of a wood-fired meal. The amaretto and ricotta mixture breaks up the decadent chocolate with delicate nuttiness, and Traeger’ing the dessert over Maple Hardwood infuses a rich sweetness that an oven simply can’t duplicate. Indulge in dessert the Traeger way—keep it simple and sweet.

TRAEGER MARBLED BROWNIES

DIFFICULTY: 2/5
PREP TIME: 20 minutes
COOK TIME: 25-30 minutes
RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Maple, Apple
SERVES: 8-10

INGREDIENTS

One 18.3 oz. Brownie Mix, or your favorite brownie recipe
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 Egg
1 Tbsp. Amaretto Liqueur
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tsp. Cornstarch
1/2 tsp. Vanilla

METHOD

• Grease a 9 x 13” nonstick baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, amaretto, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla and whisk together thoroughly. Set aside.
• Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Randomly drop dollops of the ricotta mixture over the batter. Run a plastic knife through the ricotta mixture to give the brownies a marbled look.
• When ready to cook, start your Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed (10 to 15 minutes).
• Put the pan with the brownie mixture directly on the grill grate and bake according to the package directions, about 25 to 30 minutes. Insert a bamboo skewer or toothpick in the center of the brownies to determine if they are done: the batter should not be wet.
• Transfer the brownies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
