Chocolate Ecstasy

Weekend was awesome! My BCF (best cousins forever) came over for a sleepover! 🙂 Basically I had 2 sleepless nights. We only slept in the early mornings.  On the 1st day, I had only 25 minutes of sleep! We ate, played cards…ate…watched movies till 6am!

 
By the 2nd day, there were the occasional eye-closing incidents. Sharifa had to bring me back from the doors of lalaland a couple of times!
 
So we were supposed to bake something to munch all. It all started with us browsing thru Nigella Express trying to find the chocolaty cookies. Somehow we ended up baking her Flour-less Brownie instead. The brownies tasted nice on it’s own. But with the chocolate sauce, it was so so so so good! We served it with a scoop of ice cream too. SUPER DELICIOUS AND GORGEOUS!!!!

Just E thought of it now makes me wanna have some now!

Look at the pictures. Doesn’t it look good? Bear in mind that these pics are totally unedited, was captured at 2am with poor lighting. This is a must try recipe…but plzzzz serve it with the killer sauce! Infact I insist! 😀
