ABOUT THIS RECIPE


Flourless baking is common on the Italian island of Capri, where it's done for taste, not to cut carbs. The original is a chocolate dessert topped with powdered sugar, Grenache or berries. If you’re familiar with it, the rich, less-cakey texture might remind you of the Italian dessert. Ours is made even better with a hint of Maker's Mark.

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
• 1/4 cup Maker's Mark Bourbon
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 | Prepare your oven and baking pan
 • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan, line with parchment paper or foil and butter the parchment.

STEP 2 | Melt butter with bourbon and chocolate
 • In a large saucepan, heat the butter and bourbon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. Stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from the heat and immediately add 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.

STEP 3 | Mix in the rest of your ingredients
 • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the confectioners' sugar until well-combined. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top.

STEP 4 | Bake to perfection

STEP 5 | Remove from pan and enjoy
 • Lift out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 bars.

  • SMOOTH FINISH
Maker’s Mark® Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, KY., just like Bill, Sr. would have wanted.
