... or desserts if you prefer!
This is a fun recipe and very popular with everyone who likes chocolate and the hot and cold combination – I've known those who purport not to like chocolate or ice cream can't resist.
It's a perfect idea for Christmas Eve …
Pizookie
Serves 10-12
125g unsalted butter, room temperature
150g light soft brown sugar
100g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
200g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarb
½ tsp salt
250g plain chocolate, broken into chunks
Pre-heat oven 160fan/180c/Gas 4.
Put butter and sugars in a bowl and beat – hand mixer – for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla bean paste.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients – the flour, baking powder, bicarb and salt. Tip it into the butter mixture, beat until combined, then stir through the chocolate. Tip into a 20cm ovenproof frying pan or a shallow cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. 25 minutes will give you a molten centre, 30 minutes a more set version.
Cool for 5 minutes, then add scoops of vanilla ice cream in the middle – dig in!
The ultimate sharing indulgence – perfect – like I say for Christmas Eve, kids and adults alike – with friends and family.
A great way to start the holidays!
