This might be the most easiest thing ever to make. I would say an average home would already have this 2 boxes in their cupboards. A box of family size brownie mix and a package of chocolate chip cookie mix. I know what you're thinking, WHATTTTTT??? She makes things from the BOX? LOL! I don't do it all the time, but this time I did since I promised One eyed Blonde girl about this so I'm making it for her, Dang it! Why didn't I make it from scratch? I was a bit busy and the time was just not on my side.
It didn't matter though, it was still good and made from the heart, I meant BOX. LOL!
Just do this, I mean follow the directions below, when all the mixture are mixed hehe and so you can bake it already and taste it.
Here's the ganache for the top:
- 8 oz. semi sweet chocolate, cut into small pieces ( I use Baker's)
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
What to do:
- Place cut up chocolate pieces on a large glass bowl (don't use plastic) and set aside.
- Place the heavy cream on a medium cooking pot. Heat on medium high until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the cut up chocolate and stir until completely melted and have a glossy look.
- Allow ganache to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before pouring.
- When cooled pour and spread to cover the entire top of the cake.
- If you want the ganache to set quick you can stick it in the fridge for 10 minutes or so then serve. With or without ice cream :-)
This looks really yummy, ate! my God... anything chocolate is like lalalooooooove... :D i want some... i'll make some sooooooooon and i'll try to do it from scratch.... hihihihi :D
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, now this is weird. Was trying to post my comment and the next thing I know it got deleted. I swear I clicked the right buttons specifically "Post Comment" and yet it came out as "removed by the author" - straaange goings-on indeed in Blogspot... At any rate, I'm reposting the exact comment here...
ReplyDeleteClaire, this is so ingenious! We must be kindred spirits - simply because this is exactly how I make my Brownie Oatie Squares Ala Mode up to the ganache topping. I use oatmeal raisin cookie batter though instead of chocolate chip. Usually I whip up this quickie dessert treat whenever I have leftovers of both batters. Perfect with Mantecado flavor ice cream which is similar to Butter Pecan minus the nuts. Your recipe is equally drool-worthy - thanks for sharing!
@ Ted, there must be a ghost monitor in my blog, hahahah. I haven't deleted anyone in the blog yet so it couldn't have been me. I did make the cookie hogdepodge last week with oatmeal but I wanted to post this first. I might post the other one tonight.
