Chocolate Mud Pie

October 3, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

While growing up the wheat biscuit has been a staple part of many households and has also become an amazing ingredient for baking and various other meals. So it’s clear wheat biscuits are not only enjoyed as a cereal, but can also add fibre and texture to a range of sweet and savoury recipes.

This inspired me to make a delicious pie recipe using these versatile wheat biscuits as the focal ingredient in my pie base. It gives a crispy texture and a rich flavour that will have you eating the base simply by itself. I’ve filled this base with a smooth baked chocolate mud filling which if left slightly underbaked can sometimes leave a gooey centre which reminds me of a lava cake. If that’s not your cup of tea, continue to bake until set.

Note: Give yourself plenty of time to make this recipe, for best results the chocolate filling needs to be made and chilled for 12-24 hours ahead of time.

If you’re on the hunt for some wheat biscuits, Countdown’s Wheat Biscuits are on Price Lockdown for just $4! Making them the most affordable wheat biscuit on the market, and also come with a 5 Health Star rating.

Countdown challenged me to come up with some different ways to wheat! So I gladly accepted the challenge to show various other ways I could incorporate their Wheat Biscuits into a range of other delicious creations. Along with my Chocolate Mud Pies, this week I’ve made a breakfast for kings, Banana Maple Smoothie, Honey Wheat Bliss Balls and a Rocky Road Parfait. See the picture below.

You’ll need: 6 hole 22x4cm Texan Muffin or Mini Pie tin.

I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh fruit slushies and frozen cocktail this summer. It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.
