Chocolate Cheesecake Heavenly

Chocolate Cheesecake Heavenly Dessert
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 box crushed Nilla wafers, used a rolling pin to crush in course chunky pieces
1 eight-ounce package softened cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 large cntr creamy cool whip (even lite cool whip works but you know me, why bother)
3 cups milk
2 small boxes instant pudding mix, one chocolate, one cheesecake




In a medium mixing bowl, cream together powdered sugar and softened cream cheese.


Fold in one half container whipped cream.


Spread over nilla wafers



Beat 1.5 cups milk with chooclate pudding until thick


Beat 1.5 cups milk with cheesecake pudding until thick


Spread chocolate pudding mixture over cream cheese layer



Spread cheesecake pudding mixture over chocolate layer



Top with remainder of coolwhip and drizzle chocolate syrup over the top. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or if your incredibly impatient like me and my family, pop in freezer while eating supper and then serve :)








A great variation is to replace the cheesecake pudding with butterscotch pudding and then top with crushed pecans for a turtle dessert.



You can use SO many different combos! This is just a base for you to decide what sounds/looks good and you can change it up anyway you like.

Its wonderful with fresh fruit folded into a vanilla pudding layer as well.

Yep, I cheated! And its sooo good too!

Cakey Brownies

We all like brownies different ways in our family so I alternate between cakey, fudgy and chewy a lot. We also don't like nuts in ours so I usually don't put any in but I decided to add just a tad for texture in these.

Cakey Brownies
before being cut:

Cakey Brownies
3/4 cup butter, I used country crock spread because i am out of stick butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp peanut butter
1/8 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with shortening and dust with cocoa powder

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Remove saucepan from heat and stir in sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.

Add eggs and vanilla, peanut butter and beat lightly with a wooden spoon until just combined.

In a separate small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda and salt. Whisk.

Add flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, stir in milk until well blended.

Stir in nuts, if using.

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a cross between crumbs and a thick batter.

Cool on a wire rack and then cut.

Long time NO post!

Sorry about that. But to make it up to you, I have a dangerous, warm and yummy dessert. That is so easy a child could do it (at least the mixing part)

WARNING: Disclaimer:
This is not in any shape or form low fat. Nor can it be. BUT I did use fat free caramel apple dip if that counts? Ok so it does count. Take my word for it. I can guarantee that next time it won't be fat free tho lol!!!




My version of the MOST DANGEROUS CHOCOLATE CAKE, EVER!


1 coffee mug, I used a tall one

4 Tbsp. cake flour or just regular flour

4 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. cocoa

1 egg 3 Tbsp. milk

3 Tbsp. oil

Small splash of vanilla

I didn't use choco chips, because I'm out. But I did however have little containers of fat free caramel apple dip. I used half of one, but I think a whole one would be better!!
3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional

Spray mug with pam

Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork.

Add egg, mix thoroughly.

Pour in milk and oil and vanilla, mix well.

Here I dropped the caramel dip in. It might be better drizzled on top of the finished cake though.

Add chips, if using.

Put mug in microwave, and cook for three minutes. I put mine on a small saucer just in case. Cake will rise over top of mug, if using a small one. Mine did not. Do not be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired. Eat!


And WHY is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?Because now we are all only 3 minutes away from chocolate cake anytime of the day or night!!!

The options for add-ins are ENDLESS! I am thinking about walnuts or pecans or reese cups or heath bars or anything!!!!

Chocolate Cobbler

Oh ya,,I went there... With two of the best words in the dictionary comes this wonderful delight. How in the world could one go wrong?

I will post a picture after we devour the whole thing IF I remember before its gone!hahahah!
Sorry Mr. Diet, your out the door for tonight!



This warm, soft, gooey and yummylicious dessert HAS to and I mean HAS to be served with Vanilla Bean ice cream. It is against the law to not have cobbler and ice cream especially CHOCOLATE! If you don't have any ice cream then don't bother to continue...



By the way with each bite I can personally guarantee an moan or groan and your eyes to roll back in your head. It's THAT GOOD.


Chocolate Cobbler
1 & 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided into 3/4 cup and 1/2 cup
1 cup all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons cocoa, divided into 3 tablespoons and 4 tablespoons
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 & 1/2 cups hot water
Preheat oven to 350°.

Stir together 3/4 cup sugar, flour, 3 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk with wire whisk like Martha Stewart taught me. It's the lazy man's way of sifting. And if your like me, your too lazy to drag out your sifter.
Stir in milk, butter, and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Pour into an ungreased 8-inch square glass baking pan.

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons cocoa. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Pour hot water over the top. Do not stir.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until center is almost set. Let stand for 15 minutes, then serve. Use the chocolate sauce in the bottom of the pan to spoon over servings. Garnish, if desired, with ice cream or whipped cream.

Makes 8 servings or in our house, about half of it was gone..
