Chocolate Sundaes With Pear Christmas Pud Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease an 8 1/2-inch square ovenproof dish with butter.
• Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the prepared dish. Put all the remaining ingredients in a processor and blitz until you have a batter with a soft dropping consistency.
• Spread the brown batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes and then cut into slabs - I cut 2 down and 2 across to make nine slices - and serve with chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir Milk Duds and milk until smooth. Serve warm over ice cream. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lightly grease a roughly 20 x 30cm shallow ovenproof dish. Put the butter in a large saucepan and place over a low heat until just melted. Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
• Whisk the eggs together in a large bowl. Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar, beating well with a wooden spoon in between each addition. Sift the flour and cocoa powder on top of the egg mixture, then beat hard with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
• Pour into the prepared tin or dish and nestle the pears into the chocolate batter. Put the chocolate on a board and cut into chunky pieces roughly 1.5cm with a large knife. Scatter the chocolate pieces over the batter and sprinkle with almonds, if you like. Can be frozen at this stage.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins or until the mixture is crusty on the surface and lightly cooked inside. Do not allow to overcook, as the cake will become spongy rather than gooey in the centre. Serve warm with cream or ice cream

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cookies:.
• Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
• With your mixer, mix brown sugar and shortening.
• Blend in egg. Beat well, then stir in 1/2 of the dry ingredients.
• Add Marachino juice and milk.
• Stir in the rest of dry ingredients, and mix well.
• Blend in melted unsweetened chocolate (you can use the kind that are already melted, or substitute 6 T. of cocoa and 2 T. oil), chopped cherries, and chopped walnuts.
• Drop by spoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes.
• While cookies are baking cut large marshmallows in half.
• Place the cut side of the marshmallow down on hot cookies when they come out of the oven, so they will stick.
• Let cool.
• Frost cookies, then and put a nut on top.
• Buttercream Chocolate Frosting:
• Beat cocoa, margarine, milk and vanilla well. Add in confectionary sugar to desired consistency.
