Microwave Pizookie

I had my tonsils removed the day after Christmas, so food hasn't been too appealing to me the past two weeks....... Well..... Not that it hasn't been appealing, I just couldn't eat anything so I didn't want to be around it.

Thankfully, I'm finally almost over the pain, so the urge to bake is finally returning. I am loving being home, and being able to use my parents' giant kitchen, even though I'm missing the company of my constant companion, Alexa. Last night, while watching the (awesome/exciting/intense) BCS championship game last night (by myself because I have no friends), I decided to indulge myself with a delectable treat.

So I scoured my Pinterest boards.... And I'm going to apologize in advance.... This recipe is pretty darn fantastic.

If you've ever been to a place like BJ's, you know the Pizookie is the king of all desserts. Last night I realized, the only thing better than a melty, chocolate-y, warm, fresh from the oven cookie topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce, is a melty, chocolate-y, warm, fresh from the oven cookie topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce that is microwaveable, only takes like five minutes from start to finish, and you can enjoy in your sweats, curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace.

I had to tweak the recipe I found from Remodelaholic a little bit...... Mostly because I found out halfway through mixing everything that I didn't have any flour (....not an important component or anything)... So I made a straight trade for Bisquick and reduce the called for 1/4 tsp baking soda to just a pinch.... And the original recipe called for "shortening".... Which I substituted straight up for butter.

Microwave Pizookie
Adapted from: Remodelaholic

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp butter (softened)
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • A shake of salt
  • A pinch of baking soda
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp Bisquick (or flour + 1/4 tsp baking soda)
  • 3 (+/-) Tbsp chocolate chips

Directions:
In a small bowl, mix sugars and butter thoroughly. Add egg yolk and vanilla and combine. Add salt, baking soda, and Bisquick and combine. Add the chocolate chips and split between two medium-sized microwaveable ceramic ramekins or cereal bowls. Microwave for 1 minute (don't overdo this part-it won't look done, but don't add more time). Broil for two minutes to brown the crust (the author of the original recipe said she used a toaster oven).

Serve with a BIG scoop of ice cream and some chocolate and caramel sauce.  Sigh one of those big delicious sighs of complete satisfaction.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Image
Serve this fresh homemade Chocolate Marble Quick Bread that was a breeze to make using a whisk. Quick bread eliminates multiple steps, kneading and waiting for dough to rise. With minimal efforts, we are rewarded with a gorgeous loaf/ Have reduced the sugar a bit since I intend to ice the cake later. Am so glad that this Chocolate Marble Quick Bread turned out just right, the way I want it. You can sub yogurt with sour cream if you have but this MUNDELLA Premium Natural Yogurt I used did a great job. It is a perfect tea companion and swirls of vanilla and chocolate batter produce impressively beautiful treat. Over the years, I have shared some quick bread recipes, here are a few that you might be interested: Vegan Homemade Doughnuts Irish Barmbrack Fantastic Apricot Bread

CLASSIC BREAD PUDDING

Image
This Classic Bread Pudding is an easy dessert using a stale bread soaked in a milky egg mixture. I used to make it using my white sandwich bread, crust removed then cubed, but today I made this Classic Bread Pudding with multi grain bread, cut the slice into half length wise. Also baked this pudding in my 9 x 11 in baking pan instead of the heavy glass dish. It does not matter what utensil you choose, it still turns out great. The advantage of using a glass dish is that it can go from oven straight to dining table. It can be customize to your liking by adding cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon zest. If you are a chocolate lover, add a cup of chopped bittersweet chocolate or add in fruits like banana (2), blueberry, strawberry, raspberry (2 cup) or dried fruit (1 cup) just before baking. This simple Classic Bread Pudding came out beautiful and and taste exactly the same I enjoyed as a child.
