This is a great dessert recipe to create easily and quickly with leftover double chocolate cookies. Naturally, you will need to make the cookies first, and then have the ability to hold off eating enough of them to using them as a dessert… This is one of the really easy desserts.
Easy cookie recipe
To make simple double-choc cookies, you’ll need:
- 1.5 cups choc chips (or a chocolate bar smashed to pieces with a rolling pin)
- 2 cups sugar
- One third of your cup of cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence (optional – it’s nice but not critical if you don’t have any)
- 2 eggs
Mix every one of the ingredients together, ensuring everything is well combined. Pre-heat the oven to 320 degrees. Grease a baking tray, and then spoon the cookie mixture onto it.
The cookies ought to be done within about A quarter-hour, but check them at regular intervals and turn the tray if they are cooking unevenly. When they are finished, leave them to cool for a couple minutes on the tray and after that take them out using a spatula and place them on a rack for cooling properly. The cookies is going to be at their most tasty at this point, warm and slightly soft, with melted chocolate in the centre – perfect with a cup of good coffee.

You will not need all of the ingredients here – this is just a suggestion, and you can change it based on taste and availability.
You’ll need some or all of the following:
- Cookies
- Plain yoghurt
- Custard
- Ice cream (any flavor, but vanilla or chocolate is probably best)
- Mixed berries – these can be bought frozen
- Cream
- Chocolate shavings
Start by crumbling the cookies into a normal size bowl or, better still, the bottom of a wine glass. Heat the berries in a pan or the microwave, and pour them over the cookies while still hot. Spoon yoghurt, custard or ice cream – or any mixture of these – over the cookies and berries. Top with cream and chocolate shavings.
This is a really simple but very classy-looking dessert. One of several real attractions is the contrasts: the hot/cold of the berries as well as the ice cream, the hard choc chips as well as the soft cookie and yoghurt. It is also a great way to use leftovers. This is some of the quick and easy desserts and should not be difficult to make.
