Th other night, I needed a very chocolatey dessert, but nothing so quick and easy was to be found. At one point during the day there had been chocolate ice cream in the house, but a person who shall remain nameless consumed it without regard to the low tolerance I have for lack of chocolate.
We didn't have all of the ingredients for any one recipe, so I improvised. I found chocolate chips, raspberries, condensed milk, cocoa powder, spices, shredded coconut. and macadamia nuts. I put them all out on the counter and stared at them. This didn't help spark any ideas WHATSOEVER. I have never wished so much that I was a baker-extraordinaire so that I could whip out a fabulous chocolatey baked dessert without a problem. But I am not so.
Thankfully, I did remember that we had vanilla ice cream, and I ended up with a spiced chocolate sauce and a raspberry sauce. I drizzled/dumped the sauces+coconut+macadamia nuts over the ice cream and was fairly satisfied with the result.
I would share the recipes with y'all, but I didn't use any. And I don't have a clue how much of each ingredient I threw into the pots. It's an issue. What if I want to make them again?
Someday I will concoct a dessert that involves strictly chocolate and condensed milk. I may even try to measure out the ingredients so that I will actually have a recipe to post. And maybe I'll add some beignets or bread pudding or something. Because y'all know I like to include many food groups in my meals. Because y'all know I'm healthy like that.
Love,
Creole Belle
