Triple Chocolate Pudding Bowl


                    Chocolate, Chocolate, and more Chocolate!
 
This super addictive chocolate dessert came courtesy of my dear friend Isabell.  As a self-proclaimed chocoholic, I asked her not to ever make it again, but you know how friends are. The cool thing is how simple it is to make. This semi-homemade dessert incorporates store bought and made from scratch ingredients. If you have all day to do the entire dessert from scratch, kudos. If you don't, you can still achieve the same delicious results.
 
 
Ingredients
Devil's food cake mix (prepared and cooled)
instant chocolate pudding mix (prepare and set aside)
Chocolate syrup
 
Whipped Cream
16 oz. container heavy whipping cream
4 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
 
 
 
 
Prepare cake according to box instructions in a 13x9 cake pan.
Let cool. Cut cake down the middle so that you have two equal halves.
 


 
 
Prepare chocolate pudding according to box directions. Set aside.
Chill mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 10 minutes
before preparing whipped cream.
  In the chilled bowl, whip heavy cream
until stiff peaks are just about to form.
Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. 
*Do not overbeat or you will have butter :/
 


 
 
 
In a trifle or large serving bowl
add whipped cream to the bottom layer as the base.  
Place 1 half of chocolate cake on top of whip cream.
 Lightly drizzle chocolate syrup on top of the cake
 and on the sides of the bowl. 
Add a layer of chocolate pudding, then whip cream.
 Lightly drizzle chocolate syrup on top of whip cream. 
Add 2nd layer of cake, chocolate syrup, and chocolate pudding.
Add final layer of whip cream on top.
Drizzle chocolate syrup in a cool pattern
on the top layer of whipped cream.
Chill and set for 2-4 hours.
 
 
* If  serving bowl has a narrow bottom you can cut cakes into  additional squares to add more layers.

Cold Kicking Chicken Soup

It's  December, and I feel like I've been fighting off a cold the whole month. The some days warm, some days cool temperatures are killing my sinuses and my immune system. First sign of a scratchy throat or runny nose keeps me running to the pantry for soup ingredients. Whatever I have is what goes in the pot. Chicken soup is one of the easiest soups to put together and you can use any type of pasta. As you can see here, all I had on hand was some Fusilli Bucati  pasta that I was saving for a cold salad. Guess what? It worked today. 2 Large Chicken Breast or 4 thin sliced 8 oz fusilli pasta (1/2 box) 6 cups water  48 oz container chicken broth 1 tsp. granulated turmeric (for color, flavor, and health properties) chopped scallions for garnish salt and pepper 2 chicken bouillon cubes Boil chicken breast in 4 cups water. Add 1 chicken bouillon cube to water. Season water...

My Love For The Cosi Signature Salad

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of having a Cosi Signature salad, then I'm sure you will agree with me, as it is my favorite salad with a dressing you can drink. (kidding) I miss living in the big city so I have to improvise. And with a huge thanks to  The Brown Eyed Baker  ,  I was able to recreate it down to that awesome drinkable dressing.  This is the first salad I’ve eaten with fruit in it. It has pistachios, red grapes, gorgonzola cheese, pears, and dried cranberries. I added leftover cooked chicken because I was starving and I didn’t want to be hungry later. My hubby sliced up a boiled egg in his. No egg for me. I had one already this afternoon. The chicken was a great companion to the fresh fruit.                                         *Note: The Original Cosi salad does not have chicken or eggs.             ...

BRRR...WHO WANTS ICE-CREAM IN DECEMBER?

I can't raise my hand high or fast enough :) Ice cream is comfort food. There is never an inappropriate time to indulge. Look at my surroundings. These photos were taken today. Yet, all I can think about is throwing down a nice bowl. Maybe it's the snow :) A few months ago I came across the brand " Halo Top " that claims their entire pint of lo cal ice cream is 240 calories. :/ Can you imagine being able to eat an entire pint of cool, creamy, goodness that will only cost you the equivalent of doing a few loads of laundry?  I've been trying to find the "eat the whole pint" brand of ice cream for months, and lo and behold my local Shop Rite in Poughkeepsie, NY has started carrying them. They were on sale for $2.88 a pint, so I decided to try them out.   The lemon cake flavor, which is my favorite cake-cake, seemed to be amongst the popular flavors, so I  decided to go for that one. Of course you can't go wrong with chocolate, so I scoope...
