I’ve actually posted this Chocolate Pizza recipe courtesy of my friend Phisch last year but I thought it would be a great idea to re-post it today just in case you’re still trying to think of a last minute idea. Pizza is great but you know what they say, “everything is so much better in chocolate“. Why not make your lady a chocolate pizza for tonight? Pick up the ingredients after work. Hoping of course you’re reading this while at work..hehe. Click here for the recipe with matching pictures.

My friend Phisch was gracious enough to share with us her hubby’s Chocolate Pizza. Get your pen and paper ready, yes you can drool as we go along. I know I would .

First, you chop up a bunch of chocolate cookies and add some chopped toasted pecans, like so:

Add it to melted chocolate, start with 1/2 a pound or thereabouts (ok, maybe it was more), also have butter in there, maybe half a stick. This helps it harden faster and it ends up softer (which makes it easier to break apart when you want to eat it).

Place it on parchment or waxed paper and shape into a pizza (size of a dinner plate):

Top it with chopped raisins, dried cranberries and maraschino cherries (drained) and whatever other sort of dried fruit that would work (note: the original version of thisincluded dried pineapples and glaceed fruit).

Finish it off with a drizzle of white chocolate, et voila! Chocolate pizza:

Aaaahhh. If the mother of your child is not begging you out of those boxers by the time she finishes off one slice of this pizza, well I don’t know what else to tell you buddy, Hah.

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 pieces of steaks, finely chopped in cubes
2 tsp of taco seasonings
sprinkle of garlic powder
a dash of salt and pepper

green taco sauce
1 package of corn tortillas

PICO DE GALLO
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 medium white onion, chopped
finely chopped parsley, about 2 sprigs
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes, optional

First make the Pico de Gallo. In a container, combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped parsley, stir, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you and your wife/gf like spicy food. Cover and store in the fridge.

In a heated skillet, sautee the chopped beef in olive oil. Stir then let the meat cook. After that season with garlic powder, taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir, then turn the stove off.

Warm up the corn tortillas, by laying it down on a heated non-stick skillet. About 8 seconds on each sides.

Time to fill up. Use two corn tortillas for 1 taco. This way the filling is held properly. First layer is your meat mixture, then the pico de gallo you made earlier, then finish it off with a drizzle of green salsa on top.

That’s it. I’ll be posting dishes on Thursdays that way you’ll have ample of time to buy the ingredients and plan your special night.
