Chocolate French Toast Bread Pudding – My New Favorite Breakfast.
This one started as an “Oops!” but quickly became a “Wow!” after taking that first bite. It’s dense and cakey, not custardy like a traditional bread pudding. It’s also only mildly sweet, and the marriage of chocolate and cinnamon is reminiscent of a Sunday brunch French toast. It’s also a true testament to how you can mess up in the kitchen and still (sometimes) end up with a great product. That being said, let’s explore my forgetful side for a minute… and that part of me that mistakenly thinks I don’t need a recipe for some things.
Homemade Oreos… And They’re Better Than the Real Thing!!
Someone pinch me. Hard. Harder… I must be dreaming. Not only did these little cookies-from-above exceed my every expectation, but they did so even in the “slightly healthier, but not really” category. I came across the original recipe for these on Foodnetwork.com, so I can’t take credit for inventing this amazingness. However, I did add my usual tweaks and modifications to make them my own. Everybody loved them. Loved. I mean it. So try a batch. Maybe take them to a party. And then brace yourself for the ensuing barrage of super awesome popularity.
Chocolate Sin
When I was little, my mom would make this dessert for parties that nobody could seem to get enough of. It’s sweet, creamy, dense, chocolatey, and boozey. And it really lives up to its name, as you might say it’s almost sinfully good. I decided to make some this week because I hadn’t had it in a really long time and I discovered one more thing about it that I love, in the process. It’s also pretty easy to make!
My Favorite Flourless Chocolate Cake
I love a warm slice of flourless chocolate cake. Its melt-in-your-mouth goodness leaves nothing to be desired, other than maybe another slice! I’ve searched high and low for the best recipe and I knew I’d found it when I came across this one. There’s just enough sugar to sweeten the chocolate and it’s so buttery and silky smooth, it goes great with a nice scoop of ice cream, chocolate sauce, or maybe some Crème Anglaise. This one is perfect for chocolate lovers!
Deep Dish Cookie
Oh boy! This is one serious cookie! It’s kind of like a deep dish pizza, but better. I took my Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe to a whole new level. I added another 1/2 Cup of chocolate chips, stuffed it into a 9-inch round cake pan, and presto! One gigantic cookie! This one was pretty simple, too.
