10x the most delicious chocolate desserts
1. Chocolate cookies with beurre noisette
Chewy, with crunchy edges and a portion of chocolate that commands respect: these chocolate cookies are a ticket to heaven. As if you were baking a brownie, but then suddenly turning it into a cookie. You can make plenty with this recipe, by the way, because it makes thirty in one go. And since there’s always a reason to reach for a chocolate cookie…
2. Chocolate cake with Liefmans
There’s only one way to make chocolate cake even better: add alcohol. Liefmans may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it really should be. This usually summery alcoholic drink gives the cake a lovely fruity touch. And we know that chocolate and fruit are a match made in heaven. Another reason why Liefmans is a good idea? The lightly sparkling drink makes the batter wonderfully light.
3. Chocolate ice cream (without an ice cream maker!)
Making chocolate ice cream without an ice cream maker: it’s possible. And it’s incredibly easy, too! For this recipe, you use, among other things, ripe bananas, tahini and Greek yogurt. That suddenly sounds like a very virtuous dessert, doesn’t it?
4. KitKat chocolate pizza
I know, this sounds like a dream. A pizza topped with KitKat. It’s a little like the Nutella pizza on the dessert menu at Italian restaurant chain Happy Italy, but then—with a twist—with KitKat instead of Nutella. This is so easy to make, but it will definitely blow your dinner guests away. And, um… You can absolutely have pizza as both your main course and dessert.
5. Lukewarm chocolate tart
Isn’t this lukewarm chocolate tart by chef Jonathan Zandbergen a beauty? Jonathan says: ‘A filling that is just firm enough to slice and has the texture of a crème brûlée.’ Well, you had us at that. Surprisingly, you make this chocolate tart with Jerusalem artichoke. There are a few steps to follow during the recipe, but the result is worth it.
6. Vegan chocolate mousse cake
Even if you’re vegan, you should be able to enjoy a good chocolate cake. You can—with this vegan chocolate mousse cake, and how. It proves once again that vegan food can be absolutely delicious (even though some people may not be very fond of it). You make this chocolate mousse cake partly with tofu and dates. And, of course, lots of (extra-dark) chocolate.
7. Smoothie bowl with crunchy chocolate
Um, isn’t a smoothie bowl breakfast, I hear you thinking? Maybe, but you can absolutely eat this as dessert too. In fact, that’s a very good idea. This smoothie bowl is not only incredibly delicious—that could hardly be otherwise with chocolate, peanut butter and banana—but also pretty healthy. A healthy Snickers for dessert: who wouldn’t want that?
8. Classic chocolate chip cookies
Anyone fancy a cookie with coffee after dinner? Forget those boring Maria biscuits or dry digestives. You’ll come up with something better: these insanely delicious chocolate chip cookies. A true classic that’s easier to make than you think. Emma de Thouars’s recipe explains step by step what to do. Tip: double the recipe and fill your own cookie tin.
9. Frozen choco yoghurt bites
These cool chocolate bites went completely viral on TikTok in the summer of 2023. But honestly, we’re nowhere near tired of them yet. They’re a wonderfully refreshing, sweet snack that makes the perfect ending to a dinner—especially if you don’t want a heavy dessert. The freezer does most of the work, which is very convenient.
10. Chocolate chip banana pancake lollies
A real mouthful, literally and figuratively. This is a really fun, easy and original recipe. You taste pancake, you taste banana, you taste chocolate, and together they make a wonderfully delicious dessert. It’s guaranteed to make both young and old very happy at the table.
