Chocolate Chip, Ice-Cream and Chocolate Sauce

I'm a huge Pinterest fan, as I'm sure many of you are! If you're ever feeling rather uninspired to bake or cook, I would really recommend looking through Pinterest for about... 10-15 mins, and I promise you, you will be super inspired! I found this delicious idea there and went about to find a way to do it. It's a huge cookie with a chocolatey center, the idea is for the chocolate center to ooze out when you cut into this. You should serve it warm with your favorite ice-cream and drizzle some chocolate, caramel or any other topping you like. I used mini-pie ramekins, which make a perfect dessert portion, but if you prefer to have them as a snack ,I recommend you use a cupcake pan to make them instead. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Soy súper fan de Pinterest, estoy segura que ustedes también. Si algún día se encuentran poco inspiradas para cocinar o crear deliciosos postres, les recomiendo que le echen un vistazo a Pinterest, y encontrarán miles de inspiraciones. Encontré esta deliciosa idea allí, y busqué la manera para recrearlo. Es una galleta gigante con el centro relleno de chocolate, la idea es que cuando cortes el centro chocolatoso corra. Debes servirlo caliente con tu helado favorito y echarle tu salsa preferida por encima, ya sea chocolate, caramelo, frutas, etc. Yo usé unos moldes mini de pie, el cual sirvieron una perfecta porción de postre, pero si prefieres algo más pequeño para tener como snack recomiendo que utilices un molde de hacer cupcakes. Espero que les guste esta receta.

Me dejan saber.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Steps to create this:

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, it should take about 30 seconds.Create a layer in the bottom of either pan you choose to work with. Pour some of the melted chocolate, but no too much, it'll run to the sides (it happened to me!). After adding the melted chocolate, top off with the rest of the cookie dough, think about it, as the cover. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, baking time will vary depending which pan you decide to use. I used this: chocolate sauce to top off.

P.S. I've been tempted at trying out chocolate recipes that use avocado in them, have any of you guys tried them before?

Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm so intrigued by anything that combines sweet and salty; the first time I dared to adventure with this concept was with salted caramel, I'm obsessed with it. Since my introduction to this concept I look for sweet and salty recipes and try them out, until now they've all been great. Chocolate chip cookies are such a staple to our everyday sweet tooth, that I was more than excited to give them the salty twist. This recipe wasn't something I stumbled upon in my drooling routine of looking at recipes, I looked for it and compared recipes, finally settling with this one! Hope you try it, it's delicious... I promise!
