Chocolate recipes

Annie's chocolate brownies

for when you are desperate for a chocolate fix!

1/2 lb butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix ingredients together in the order listed. No need to cream the butter and sugar. I just soften the butter in the microwave.
You could add nuts instead of chocolate chips, but why dilute the chocolate?
Pour into a pan about 9" x 13".
Bake at 170C (about 325F) until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Don't over-cook, brownies should still be gooey in the middle.


Sarah's chocolate syrup

This is an all-purpose chocolate syrup you can use for anything that requires chocolate, anytime.

1 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons butter

Put all ingredients into a pot and heat gently. Simmer for 5 minutes, then strain and store in the fridge. Use a couple of tablespoons for each cup of heated milk. Also great as a topping for ice cream, or whatever.


Chocolate self-saucing pudding

I got his one from Gabriel Gate, a daytime TV chef in Melbourne!

60g butter
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 egg
1 cup self-raising flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup milk

Optional:
some orange zest
some walnuts (not for me, they detract from the "chocolateness"!)

Cream butter and sugar, then mix everything together. Pour into a greased pudding bowl (I use a glass casserole dish, but only because I don't have a pudding bowl).

Then pour on the sauce:
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup raw sugar (or it might be brown sugar, I can't remember what the recipe says, I've used both and it doesn't seem to matter much).
1 3/4 cups hot water. The recipe originally said 2 cups, and that would certainly make more sauce, but it wouldn't want to be any thinner, so if you want more sauce then add more dry ingredents too.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350F.

    Coming soon! I just need to remember to bring the recipes.
