There are times when basic instincts take over. Survival of the fittest.
I often find myself in a situation that takes drastic measures, or at least creative measures, or......well, I do what I can.
Such is the emergency dessert. In between holidays, it's slim picking around here in the dessert department. So here is the solution, in my mind anyway. It does the trick.
One container of chocolate syrup that has been in the fridge since summer.
One container of whipped cream. LIGHT whipped cream. I hear it contains no calories as opposed to it's heavier brother, HEAVY whipped cream.
Carefully pour the chocolate syrup into a teaspoon. I don't use a tablespoon because that would be pigging out, tempting though it is.
Squirt out a healthy dollop of the light whipped cream. Deposit into mouth.
Do it again.
Yum. Emergency solved.
you forgot the part where you just put the tip of the can in your mouth and let 'er rip...LOL!

We are so twins separated at birth.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing for me, is I would have dipped the spoon ( a larger one!) in peanut butter, then pour chocolate sauce on it, then add the whipped cream. But I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteSimply heaven! I love it!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me while I go to the frig...

Wait - I'll be right back with my spoon.
ReplyDelete... and you complain when I eat a WHOLE bag of potato chips at one sitting??? Jeeeez! Why not throw some sardines on top. mmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteOnly twice? Oh that's right 3 teaspoons equal a tablespoon so now I get it. I like your plate, very pretty! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteWorks for me...
ReplyDeleteYou are much more "held back" and graceful than I would be. I'm with Lois....just let er rip (with the can) and give er a good squirt...with the chocolate...a couple of times! Even your last picture, looks like a chef is leaving his signature chocolate sauce on a place....with the tiny dessert to go on top. Yum! Come January 1st, I won't even have these two items in my house! I've been very bad....got 50 lashings by my heart doctor!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! I do all of that minus the spoon...
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by...come back soon.
Works for me. You even did fancy art with the chocolate to make a classy dessert.
ReplyDeletegreat idea! i remember once sarge wanted something sweet and there were slim pickings in the house so he made a sandwich, a hershey bar on white bread... idiot! ha ha ha
