Chocolate Velvet Pie

Sometimes the old school recipes can't be beaten. I don't know where this one came from, except I saw it on Simple Savings. It is decadent and reminiscent of all those good things like chocolate self-saucing pudding.

I hope you like it.

Chocolate Velvet Pie

1/2 Cup plain flour

3 Tbs Cocoa

1 Cup shredded coconut

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Cream (I didn't say it was healthy!)

1 Cup Milk

4 eggs, lightly beaten

100g butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and pour into a greased 25 cm pie dish. Bake for 1 hour, and let stand for at least 10 minutes before eating. Serve with cream or icecream.

The Best Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Ever.

Right now, I swear at the weather report. Because 12 Degrees is not a bloody maximum!!

Ryan just laughs at me, and starts making wintery desserts. This one, from Donna Hay's 'the instant cook', is the best one we've ever found. The book is worth it, just for this recipe and the bread and butter pudding.

My only advice for messing with this recipe: smaller servings are good, if you've eaten dinner. And don't over cook it - it's better fudgy.

chocolate dessert cakes

185g butter, melted

1 Cup caster sugar

1/3 Cup brown sugar

3 eggs

1 1/4 Cups plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 Cup cocoa

double cream to serve

Preheat the oven to 160 Degrees Celsius. Place the butter, sugars and eggs in a bowl and mix unti combined. Sift over the dry ingredients, and mix until combined. Place in 4 x 1Cup capacity coffee mugs (or whatever). Bake until 20 minutes or until fudgy. Serve warm or colded topped with the cream.

Oh, I forgot! These are also really awesome heated up in the microwave! They rise, and taste just as good as when they first came out of the oven. I might have to make some more...
