The recipe yields 16 2&quot; square brownies baked in an 8x8 inch pan. All quantities displayed below are triple those of Boo’s original single-serve recipe, and slightly adjusted to my preferences and what I had on hand: Instead of whey protein, I used PEScience’s Whey-Casein blend. I also used oat flour in place of all purpose flour and reduced Erythritol from 135g to 100g.

Into the dry mixture, lightly stir in your carbonated beverage until no lumps remain. The batter should be very liquid and begin spewing bubbles! Immediately pour into your greased/lined 8”x8” pan and bake for 25 - 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Let cool in the pan for 5 more minutes after baking, then an additional 30 minutes out of the pan before slicing and storing. As Boo notes, the brownies continue to cook in the pan after leaving the oven, and may not have set completely.

Bonus tip: I wrapped mine individually in aluminium foil (because portion control lol) and reheated them in the microwave with a dollop of peanut butter… SO FUDGY! 

Make a shot of espresso. Let cool slightly.

Easy recipe for a classic tomato pasta with a kick, ready in 20 minutes.

Spaghetti all'assassina

spaghetti

tomato purée (passata)

0.5 tsp chili flakes

olive oil

garlic

parsley

tsp Kitchen Stories Pasta Magie seasoning

To make the tomato broth, bring water to a boil and add tomato paste, mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat. Peel garlic and grate finely. In a large, non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then add  garlic, chili flakes and Pasta Magie seasoning. Mix to combine.

When garlic is golden brown, add tomato purée and let it simmer for approx. 2 min. Then add spaghetti and let it cook in the sauce for approx. 3–5 min until the sauce caramelizes and you can see dark and crispy spots on the pasta.

Gradually add some of the tomato broth prepared in the first step to the pasta, let it simmer while stirring occasionally. Repeat 3 or 4 times when pasta absorbs the liquid, until the pasta is cooked until al dente. Finely chop the parsley. When the pasta is ready, garnish with parsley and season.

Was mega n 🍦!!!!!! Full flavor explosion

Really a great yet simple recipe. Great, almost smoked taste. And the best part: You always have the ingredients at home, even if you haven't bought them fresh;)

Very delicious I seasoned it differently but that's another way of making a one pot past very brilliant

very delicious! I made it with my own spices (as stated above only with less chilli). It tastes intensely of tomato, which makes it something special and is easy to cook at the same time. Highly recommended

super delicious! I made it with my own spices (see information above the recipe) and used a little less chilli because I don't like it that spicy. It tasted great, very intense like tomatoes. And it's easy to cook.

Sweet and silky with surprising bursts of crunch, chew and salt, store-bought vanilla ice cream topped with caramelized dates, olive oil and flaky salt has no business being as delicious and fancy-feeling as it is. The bitterness of chocolate sauce accentuates the sweetness of ice cream, so it makes sense that Italians drizzle spicy, bitter olive oil on ice cream, too. Toasting the dates in olive oil beforehand further enhances the flavors. While vanilla ice cream lets the toppings shine, it’s also delicious on coffee, hazelnut or strawberry ice cream or gelato.

In a small skillet, heat the oil and date over medium. Once sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes, turn off the heat.

Scoop the ice cream into a bowl, then scrape the dates and all of the oil on top. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Eat as soon as possible.

Good Lord this is good! I’ve made it with both vanilla and with coffee ice cream, both delicious. So simple yet so elegant!

I made this with a few tweaks. Use 2 dates, each torn into about 5 pieces. Only 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sizzle for 90 seconds. Instead of ice cream I used Greek yogurt because protein and the dates are sweet enough. Generous flaky salt. 

This is my new go to nighttime dessert. Very good.

genuinely such a perfect entertaining dessert when you haven't prepped. really need a glug of good olive oil on top (not from pan) and impt to let the dates really caramelize. rave reviews

I am completely addicted to this! Love dates. Recommend Haagen Dazs vanilla for the ice cream.

Fantastic. Unusual. Quick. Dates did get crispy outside and stayed succulent within. Used Haagen Daz vanilla. Will make again!

Once again, some of "substitutions" in the comments are hysterical. When we make substitutions to a recipe, the idea is to stay as true to the recipe as possible or make something else. If we don't have the ingredients, we may be making something really good, but it is no longer the recipe we are following. This recipe requires ice cream and olive oil. Neither yogurt nor a fruit smoothie are kitchen substitutes for ice cream, nor is maple syrup a kitchen substitute for olive oil.

One of those recipes that is far more than the sum of its parts. Something magical about this. Add cinnamon.

Good Lord. Y'all weren't lying! Whhaaa... why is this so tasty? I was skeptical. Never been a vanilla fan. Wow. Very very good!!!

I made this as dessert for my mom’s birthday after serving paella. It was a huge hit and so fast and easy!

I really want to try this but should we be heating extra virgin olive oil? isnt the release of toxic phenols an issue?

We loved this. I used fresh dates; less sweet, and Trader Joe’s vanilla. Mmmm

That was ridiculously delicious!  I used 4 dates. Couldn’t finish it all. I read other comments - left in pan 3 minutes the stirred and finished another minute. Added a pinch of cinnamon. Served on Trader Joe’s vanilla - just fine. Can’t wait to try with dried cherries.

Guess what's even easier? Microwave the dates then scoop the ice cream right on top. DELICIOUS!

Suggest
1. Cook dates in olive oil on foil in toaster oven for easier cleanup
2. Toast almonds as accompaniment 
3. Drizzle of balsamic vinegar
4. A few torn fresh basil leaves

Look, don't judge, but I had prunes instead of dates and I tried it and I'm here to report that the slick, sweet, gummy center of the prune toasts beautifully in olive oil and tastes amazing against the salt and sweet ice cream. Tried it with dates and...the prune is way better.

The fact that store-bought ice cream made 
The New York Times Cooking page, inspires me to write this note. It takes my mind away from the apocalypse my neighbors and I who reside in the Southern Appalachian Mountains are experiencing in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s destruction a week ago. I have thought for months now that Tillamook ice cream, produced by a diary coop in Oregon and sold in Asheville, NC by several grocers has to be the best I have ever eaten.

This dessert is my new obsession. It is so easy, and tastes better than 99% of the desserts you would order in a restaurant. I am going to make it again right now!

Tried it with plain Greek yogurt and some maple syrup and it worked really well

Made banana “nice cream” to serve with the dates (yes plural - two huge dates per serving) and olive oil. Absolutely decadent and healthy. (Oops forgot the salt! Excuse to encore soon.)

Banana Nice Cream: I keep a stash of peeled, halved bananas in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Slice one or two halves into 1/2” slices, and throw into a food processor or blender with a few splashes of your favorite “milk. Process until it becomes soft serve, adding more liquid as needed.

So, so good, esp with Ben & Jerry’s vanilla—but next time I’ll tear/chop the dates into more pieces.

@Megan In Seattle thank you for the suggestion. I actually love prunes more than dates. I’ll try this soon.

delicious.  a sprinkle of cinnamon pushed it to the next level.

Strauss Family Vanilla Bean ice cream is amazing.

@Roger Sharpe  Hang tight, Roger. We’re sending funds and goods as requested. 
Times readers, please help with any donation, however small. Western NC has been devastated.

Haven’t tried this with dates but a vanilla gelato or other dense vanilla ice cream drizzled with high quality fruity EVOO and sprinkled with maldon sea salt flakes is a go to dessert that never disappoints dinner guests!! The flavors are such a fantastic combo. Carmelized dates sound like a wonderful addition!

I had everything on hand so figured I would give this a shot! Such a delicious and easy treat after a long day in the heat. My dates got a little blackened on the bottom, but it just added to the depth of flavor. It really dressed up some vanilla ice cream that had been sitting in the freezer for probably a little too long.
