Possibly the Gooiest Pudding in the World

 

Date: 8/12/12

Background: Two puddings in one day?! Oh dear…. Winter time is definitely upon us! Saying that, I am not going to pretend I haven't had 2 puddings on one day before.. But on the EVENING of seeing my lovely housies, we met up in the Bull Ring, Birmingham, with Emily to have a lovely quiet meal and a gossip! And to make me feel slightly better, me and Louise did share it… Which is both a blessing and a curse (a curse because part of me wanted to grab it out of her hands and devour it like a ravenous pit bull)!

What: Chocolate Chip Hot Cookie Dough Dessert

Where: Pizza Hut, Bull Ring, Birmingham

How Much?: £2.95

What was Good: EVERYTHING. Seriously, EVERYTHING! It was a superb, outstanding, decadent, tremendous, stupendous combination of molten hot oozy gooey chocolate chip cookie dough, with an ice cold scoop of vanilla ice cream sat in the centre, crowing the pudding with its chilly glory, all drizzled in a chocolaty chocolate sauce. What about that sounds bad to you?! NONE OF IT, THAT IS WHAT! It was possibly the most soul satisfying and naughty but oh so nice pudding there is. A solid pudding that is practically liquid, yet chewy where the dough had began to set, combined with an equally solid yet liquid ice cream and sauce from the heat of the dough is a texture and taste sensation! You need to try this pudding for yourself!!

What was Bad: I cannot fault this pudding. Apart from the fact I want more. Daily.

Would I Buy It Again?: Yes! I would go and buy it now if it was not 9pm at night. But I also am desperate to try the other flavours, Raspberry and White Chocolate, and Banoffee!

A Sizzling Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sundae

 

Date: 29/11/12

Background: Stacey and I decided to make a trip to our “local”, The Yenton, because we love it so much there that on Four Square, Stacey is Mayor *looks impressed*. After dinner, we wanted an after dinner puddingy treat.

What: Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sundae- Vanilla ice cream, with chunks of chocolate chip cookie, topped with whipped cream and drizzle with toffee sauce

Where: The Yenton, Sizzling Pub, Erdington

How Much: £3.49

What was Good: Stacey really was attracted to this dessert! The minute we sat down at the table the pudding menu caught her eye, and specifically a glowing image of this sundae beauty. So naturally when it came to choosing, I think the choice was already made! The toffee sauce was really thick and treacly- I feel as if I have tasted it before from another establishment… dot dot dot. The cookie pieces themselves were packed into the pudding, not just a scanty couple here and there. Also, for once, there was not TOO much whipped/squirty cream!

What was Bad: Personally, I did not think this was the best tasting pudding that there ever was. It was not extremely special and mind-blowing. The cookies were obviously pre-made pre-bought ones, and consequently they were dry with a hint of e-number for preserving and flavouring. It no way near as disappointing as the last pudding I have from a Sizzling Pub… But it just lacked that special something that I look for so often. It didn’t help that the ice cream had ice crystals again… Which really can ruin the texture and enjoyment of the whole dairy-fied desserty element… I also would recommend maybe using double chocolate chip cookies? Or something like a famous brand of dark chocolate American cookies with a vanilla cream filling? That is what springs to mind when I hear cookies and cream… And make it cheaper definately!!

Would I Buy It Again: Me, probably not, but I think Stacey would!
