Photos: HoHo Dessert

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Yes, I said ‘ho ho’ as in those chocolate cake rolls with cream on them and a chocolate coating outside. I learned how to make this dessert from a coworker but have taken a different route with it. She would crush the ho hos and stir everything together. It was good, REAL good. I like my way, too and other ideas that I’ve had this evening regarding it. I don’t like pie (it’s true, I don’t and yes I’ve taken a lot of shit for it over the years and sometimes I provide my own dessert when it comes to pie-based holidays.)

hoho1.jpg This is stage one. You need 1 box of Jello Chocolate Pudding. Mix it up per directions and stick it in the fridge. Then layer it on the bottom of your container. To slice the hohos so they don’t fall apart I used a chef’s knife. I would lightly draw the knife back and forth in the center of the ho ho and when it broke through the coating I’d push down. Then repeat that to get four slices. Layer them neatly.

hoho2.jpg This is a layer of regular cool whip. I bought the cheap store brand, if that really makes a difference to you. I layered it on pretty thick. I bought a small container of it and used 3/4 of the container. Anymore than that and I wouldn’t have had much room left in the bowl and I didn’t want to go far over the edge or anything. Now it’s time to get decorative.

hoho3.jpg Here you can see that I did another layer of ho ho’s but I left a gap. There’s no reason as to why other than to make it pretty. In the center are 4 ends. I had a 5th end that I had no room for and decided to let the Little Lady eat it before she started drooling over the dessert as I made it.

hoho4.jpg As you can see the final stage is to put a dollop of cool whip on the center and then drizzle chocolate syrup on top. I am sure there are other syrup flavors that would be good here as well, such as caramel. Another idea I had while showing the photos to a friend was to have sliced strawberries in between the center and the outer ring of ho ho slices. I was also asked about the calories regarding this dessert. Being as it’s a holiday they don’t count. You could also use other berries, cherries, blueberries or raspberries would be good as well. You just have to like chocolate with them. Enjoy for all the non-pie lovers out there!

About This Layout

This layout features a blending of Zen and Disillusioned. Everything is calm, tranquil, at peace. Yet, some days I feel very disillusioned about the reality around me because it doesn't contain these things, nor do I. There is so much chaos, so much anger and hate going around this world. It affects each and every one of us, like the movement of butterfly wings can cause tsunamis. The image used remains with the copyright of the owner. The font used is called Dali.
