Espuma De Chocolate (Milk Chocolate Gelatin)

I stole this recipe from a publication called Gelatinas, put out by a company who sell gelatin in Mexico. Since I’m a total chocoholic I had to try it. It came out quite nicely, if you love milk chocolate. I’m going to fiddle with it to make it more like dark chocolate, but in the meantime need to post this to be the base for future experimentation. The molds were OK, but next time I would pour it into pretty glasses, top it with more cocoa powder.

Microwave Chocolate Mug Brownie

This makes a delicious brownie for one in about a minute. 60 seconds makes a molten center brownie. 75 seconds make a uniformly done brownie. Be careful not to overcook.

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

These are wonderful, quick cookies. It is one of the first things I learned to “cook.” You can add more or less oats (3 cups work best for me). I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency, its best to make them on a nice sunny day. Also, It is very important not to boil them for longer than one minute.

British Chocolate Cheesecake

This is an awesome no-bake chocolate cheesecake that is quick to whip up and then just needs 3h to chill. It’s designed to be made with sweet dark English chocolate (e.g. Bournville), rather than really ‘good’ 75% brands, or US chocolate so may not work so well with American brands, and it needs quark, which I know is pretty hard to get outside of Europe, so no promises if you end up making it with substitutes! It is well worth waiting the full time for the cake to set as the flavour is so much better when it’s stiff. This was planned to serve 10, but we cut it into 12 and it still took us forever to eat because it’s so rich!
