Chocolate pizza fun!

Yes the chocolate pizza may not look like much to the unknowing observer, but do not be fooled! It is an absolutely delicious concoction! A must have for the chocolate lover! And so easy to make, that even the kids can do it! I think it is basically every kids dream. Chocolate and marshmallows on a pizza! Who wouldn’t want to try a piece!? I think even the most sceptical would take a bite. I think the bananas are an essential part of the chocolate pizza as the banana taste seems to somewhat counteract the *too much sugar* possibility, however, another good alternative is to use strawberries when they are in season. Pizza never looked so sweet!


Chocolate pizza

Ingredients: 1 lebanese flatbread, 1 banana sliced, 1 tub of Nutella and 1 bag of mini marshmallows.

Steps: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the Lebanese bread on a baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven, then spread the bread with 3 tbsp of Nutella, sprinkle with banana pieces and marshmallows. Return to the oven for an extra 5 minutes (to slightly toast the marshmallows). Remove from the oven, cut into pieces and serve!

These cookies are SO amazingly delicious! And they were made by a happy chance when I had a craving for cookies as well as honeycomb, and decided to combine the two ideas together. What I love about these cookies, besides the taste, is their lovely gooey texture. I kept trying to think *Mrs Fields*! And I think that must really be the key! Thinking soft gooey cookie thoughts whilst cooking! Haha

These cupcakes are simple to make and deliciously chocolatey! They're also perfect for those insatiable chocolate cravings! And the best thing about these chocolate cupcakes is, even if you undercook them for a minute or so, it’s still A-okay because that just means the chocolate centre will be that much gooey-er!

Choc-chip slice squares!

Choc-chip slice squares!

Have you got a chip on your shoulder? Maybe you fell over whilst walking on flat ground and everyone turned and gave you a look and made you feel like a fool? Maybe you fell off a seat on the bus when you were half asleep and everyone around you laughed? Or maybe you think your course coordinators have it in for you, and are determined to make it hard for you, no matter what? If any of these apply, then maybe you need a Choc-chip slice square! It is loaded with ‘chips’, so maybe you’ll be able to relate! Haha

*Pinch and a punch for the first day of the month* So today is indeed the 1st day of November and also the day after Halloween. I think we had just a handful of trick-o-treaters yesterday… which is kind of sad and non-fun really.. Why can’t Halloween be big in Australia!? Why? Goodness knows the more holidays the merrier!

Chocolate & pine nut macaroons

Surprise! Just when you thought the great chocolate day had been forgotten again, here it is to save the week:Chocolate & pine nut macaroons! Drenched with sweet, rich, chocolate and pine nut goodness. The sweet smell of chocolate that wafts from the oven while you’re baking this is SO irresistible! You just want to bottle it up and be able to smell it whenever you’re feeling a tad blue. The texture of these macaroons is also quite puzzling. On the one hand they are crunchy (due to the pine nuts) and yet they are sort of moist as well. Aah! The mysteries of life!

Addictive Chocolate truffle tart

I think its time to bring back Chocolate day! After all, what’s a week without at least one chocolate day! Not much fun I should think. And what better way to celebrate this great new resurgence than with Chocolate truffle tart. It’s not only delicious but it’s really addictive too! It’s just SO good! And the taste? Well, it is light, moist, chocolatey, sweet, rich (but surprisingly not as rich as I would have expected with all the chocolate in it) and just, really satisfying. Probably because it is about 90% chocolate, 10% flour. Haha.

Caramel fudge Chocolate brownies
Caramel fudge Chocolate brownies

This is THE BEST BROWNIE recipe I have made so far! SO DELICIOUS! As in Overflowing, o-v-e-r-f-l-o-w-i-n-g, with Chocolate Goodness! It is a sweet, rich, chocolatey, moist brownie with caramel fudge pieces in the centre. I would say that this recipe is more like a ‘rich cake brownie’ variety as opposed to the ‘fudge brownie’ variety, so even though it is moist, it isn’t “wet” like fudge, but more like mud cake. I baked a batch for my friend’s Birthday yesterday and they were very well received (as most brownies are)!

Do you like Chocolate? Do you like Custard? Well then, why not combine them together and eat Baked Chocolate Custard instead! Custard is basically a mixture of milk and eggs thickened by gentle heating, however add some cocoa to the mixture and you can enjoy the delicious chocolate flavour as well! I love how custard has that jelly-like, wobbly consistency. So smooth, sweet and delicious!

Mexican Hot Chocolate
Mexican Hot Chocolate
Oh have I got a treat for you! THE most toxic-ly-rich, delicious-ly-sweet, mouth-watering, Chocolate-crave-satiating drink I have EVER tasted in my whole life! What am I talking about? Mexican Hot Chocolate! Once you taste it, you just can’t go back! Plain hot chocolate will seem dull in comparison, and the word ‘Mexico’ will give you an instant hit of “I need Mexican Hot Chocolate!” It is just SO good! (I’m really running out of adjectives to describe how good it tastes!) You seriously get a face-wide grin after each sip! It gives a whole new meaning to the terms “drinking chocolate”- delicious rich chocolate flavour with just a little chilli to spice it up!

So what is the secret to making THE perfect Mexican Hot Chocolate? Firstly the Vanilla pod/bean is essential! Don’t even bother attempting to make it if you haven’t got the vanilla bean. It just isn’t the same! Though I should probably add, that at seven dollars PER bean, this is definitely a recipe for the gourmet at heart. And of course the chilli is the other essential ingredient! It really gives it that kick! So deliciously addictive I must say! The Mexicans definitely got this recipe under their thumb!

Rich Chocolate and Croissant pudding

Chocolate Croissant Pudding
Chocolate Croissant Pudding
Croissants! Possibly one of the friendliest pastries around! Why? Because when you turn them upside down they look like they are smiling at you! Yes, not just at anyone, but You in particular! No other pastry around looks like its smiling at you! And guess what! If you quarter a croissant that’s FOUR smiles! And what’s better is that if you add some chocolate, Nutella and egg you end up with a mouth-watering chocolate pudding, filled with deliciously chocolate-custard-chocolate-croissant-pudding goodness! So rich and chocolatey and so quick to make!

Apparently there is quite a bit of controversy surrounding the origins of Croissants! Here I was sitting here, minding my own business thinking that some friendly French fellow randomly came up with the idea of making crescent shaped pastries as opposed to the round kind, but ‘Noo!’, it’s far more scandalous then that!

Chocolate Sponge Cake with Chocolate Cream
Chocolate Sponge Cake with Chocolate Cream
Sponge cake! We’ve all eaten it since we were big enough to say “I want more!” But what is sponge cake really? Well, it is a light cake made by the whisking method, which is where the ingredients are beaten rapidly causing air to become trapped within the mixture; the air expands during baking creating the lightness of the cake. And because its light (filled with air and all) you can easily eat a second or third piece guilt-free! Not that you need an excuse to eat more anyway.

On a completely unrelated note. According to the Oxford Companion to Food-English Dictionary Jane Austen wrote in a letter in 1808 that she apparently liked sponge cakes. So keep in mind if you are ever famous one day, any food you mention that you like will be documented and kept for all of eternity to read about!

Chocolate self-saucing pudding!
Chocolate self-saucing pudding!
Nothing better than pudding on a cold winter’s day, well, except for Chocolate self-saucing pudding on a cold winter’s day! That’s right! Wickedly chocolate pudding served with ice-cream is really an indulgence for the inner chocoholic. I never really believed that a chocolate limit could be reached until I ate this! One scoop and you’re thinking to yourself “I could eat this forever, no more greens for me!”… ten scoops later and you’re thinking “Oh my! How can something be so rich!”… another ten scoops later and thoughts of “I don’t think I can move from my chair” begin to persist. No Seriously. This is a delicious chocolate pudding and the sauce is the real key! And don’t worry about needing extra chocolate to make this pudding chocolatier! Take my word, it is very chocolate enriched.

So what is this whole “self-saucing pudding” concept really? Well as a friend put it simply, as the pudding cooks and rises to the surface, the chocolate sauce sinks to the bottom, and continues to “self-sauce” the pudding above. Pretty handy isn’t it? Be careful not to overcook your pudding though, because then you can say goodbye to your delightful sauce, which is a real pity. So sauce it up, with chocolate self-saucing pudding!
