And watching over proceedings was Millie who arrived this week all the way from Australia. She was keen to dive in, but I managed to halt her by offering the beaters to lick.
I am always keen to use our dinner guests as guinea-pigs for new recipes (particularly dessert - because you usually know in advance if it hasn't worked out and can save the day by whipping out a bowl of artfully scooped ice-cream). But some folks are horrified at the thought of making something that is not tried and tested.
As luck would have it, it turned out delicious anyway - great mix of crunchy, gooey and chocolatey and amazingly, not sickeningly sweet (thanks to the 72% cocoa solids choccy which gives it a great bitter hit).

The gooey thing sure looks divine.
I agree about the book title. I had to buy the book almost solely because of that.
That looks really yummy... is the crunch part a chocolat meringue?
And yes, I'm seething jealous over that cookbook title. I'm stuck.
I've made this twice, went down well both times!
I love her book, her brownie recipe is the best in the world! Well according to me, and our whole village!

Hi Ali! Thanks for your email - glad to hear Milly arrived safe & sound...in time for gooey chocolateness!! Looks amazing...I've got that book, so may very well have to give it a try!
I recognised that recipe the minute I saw it! I have that book too - bought for my for Valentines day, lucky me. Looks delicious.
I love Nigella's book too. And so far I haven't had any disasters either. They might not look like her pictures (mine being somewhat more... 'common'), but they sure taste nice!
