Sometimes, during the hustle and bustle for the holidays, things fall by the wayside. Evenings spent shopping and wrapping presents means dinner is quick and dessert is often absent. It doesn’t just have to be the holidays for life to get busy and these molten lava browines are perfect when life is chaotic.
This recipe, for Molten Lava Brownies, is from the Tasty Ultimate Cookbook. I was provided a copy for review at no charge. All opinions are my own.
If you’re on social media, you’ve probably seen Tasty videos. Their recipes are some of the easiest I’ve seen. The new Tasty Ultimate Cookbook is full of easy recipes, including these molten lava brownies. If you can make brownies from a box, you can make this recipe. Your friends and family will think you’ve taken a cooking class!
They are really that impressive! A delicious, mouthwatering brownie, but when you plunge your spoon, yes you need a spoon, into the center you’re rewarded with a warm, melty, gooey chocolate center.
I have to say I was excited at the opportunity to review this new cookbook. I find the Tasty video ideas to be clever. Their recipes have a wide appeal, in more ways than one. First, they are relatively easy. In addition to these molten lava brownies, the 3-minute mug omelet, baked BBQ chicken drumsticks, and chili dog skillet, among others, are suitable for any skill level. There is also a great variety of recipes. Everything from main dishes, appetizers, sides and desserts. Truly something for everyone.
In the cookbook, this recipe makes 2 servings. It says to discard or bake separately part of the brownie batter. Since there are 4 of us, I decided to make 4 and there was certainly enough batter to do so. For the truffles, I used Lindt milk chocolate. It’s what we like but dark chocolate would be fine to use too.
The serving suggestion in the cookbook has berries and whipped cream. Certainly a classic way to garnish this dessert. I chose a more simpler route and just added a dusting of powdered sugar. My oldest wanted ice cream and chose cookies and cream. He was pleased with his choice and next time I may go with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
It’s fun to write cookbook reviews again and I have a few more coming up as well. Another favorite recipe from a cookbook is magic coconut bars. This Tasty Ultimate cookbook would make a great holiday or wedding shower gift for your favorite cook or foodie. The recipes are simple enough making it a perfect graduation gift too.
An easy, yet impressive dessert.
