Take 2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup water. Blend for three minutes. Chill overnight. Garnish with more chocolate chips. Makes four servings.
Is this guy serious? He seems to be.
This is not chocolate mousse by any definition I know. Wouldn’t it much easier to just open a large bag of chocolate chips and pour them into a bowl? Or bake a few dozen chocolate chip cookies so your guests don’t die of sugar shock?
Talk about bachelor cooking.
Add a little brandy to instant chocolate pudding. People don’t really know the difference.
Quick & Easy recipes often suck IMO.
Yep. They often don’t work.
3 ingredients peanut butter cookies are tan hockey pucks.
Also, he claims that it’s a vegan recipe, but semisweet chocolate chips contain milk (or at least milk fat). Not the most serious problem with the “recipe,” but it’s an issue.
I have an absolutely fantastic two-ingredient recipe for cold cereal if anyone wants it.
You are right. He’s over-egging that pudding.
The only two ingredients needed are 1. Chocolate and 2. Moose
Some do but many milk-free brands are easily available. The Whole Foods brand he used is, for one.
Aha! The regular 365 brand ones have milkfat, but thecorganic ones are vegan.
Not exactly the same, but did you know that those “make X with 2 ingredients” or “Make Y in just five minutes” recipe vids are FLAT OUT LIES??
I watched one all the way through today, for some reason. It was titled, Make bread in just five minutes!"
Here’s how. Stir 1 tablespoon of sugar into 1 cup of warm water, stir in (forget how much) dry yeast. Okay, I believe you can do that in less than five minutes.
BUT "then let the yeast mix rest for 15 minutes. Er. Well, I guess you don’t have to count time you’re just waiting.
Then stir in some amount of flour and salt until a ball forms. Uh? Stirring time counts, yes?
Then cover the bowl and let rise in warm place for 40 minutes. Back to not counting waiting time.
Then punch down the dough and knead it well. Okaay,
Then put it back in the bowl for a second 40 minutes rise.
Then turn out the dough, punch down, form into a loaf, put into bread pan.
Then let it sit for 20 MORE minutes.
At this point you are at least 105 minutes into the process, right? Assuming you knead and stir like a demon.
Then stick the bread into the oven. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes.
Then uncover the loaf and bake for a second 20 minutes.
Then let it cool before cutting…
If this “5 minute bread recipe” can reach the “Take a bite” stage in less than THREE HOURS then you must own a time machine.
Two ingredient fudge is a real thing- a can of sweetened condensed milk and a bag of chocolate chips. I microwave it, stirring every 20 seconds or so until it’s smooth. It’s good; granted I’m no connoisseur.
There’s a podcaster with a show about this. He searched for the fake outs and burns them.
Sadly I can’t remember his name.
Sounds simpler than the recipe involving marshmallow cream. I’ll have to try it.
Hmmmm, wonder how well that would work with butterscotch chips (I use that as an alternate on the aforementioned marshmallow cream recipe, since variety can be a good thing, and butterscotch works quite well in that one).
A lot of those videos come from Russian content farms, and not only do most of them not work, some of them are dangerous. Awhile back I was watching a Youtuber critique some of the videos from one of the more prolific networks, and one of their “recipes” involved making white strawberries by taking ordinary strawberries and soaking them in bleach.
That’s No-fail fudge.
It can tho’. (fail, that is)
Usually turns into a thick goopy mess in high humidity.
The recipe is on the jar of marshmallow fluff. Been there for years.
But they’ll protect against COVID, right?
Hey, that’s my preferred method for peanut butter cookies!
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
Now I am going to have to try a hockey puck… Maybe I’ll like those, too…
I must’ve done something wrong. Missed a step? An ingredient?
No, no. Just 3. Couldn’t have.
Hmmm?
Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I like my cookies to have some kind of flour in them. Binding sugary peanut butter with an egg may produce something someone wants to eat, but it won’t be me.
My wife does chocolate cookies with a ball of peanut butter inside that are heavenly. They do use flour and the peanut butter is whipped some way to make it frothy.
Do it right, not as simple as humanly possible.
Someone buys those jars with separate columns of jam and peanut butter. I can’t be spending all day opening and closing separate jars. And couldn’t they throw some croutons in there?
