Okay, so who else is obsessed with desserts that feel like a warm hug? 🙋‍♀️ Seriously, there’s nothing better than cozying up with something ooey-gooey, right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Grab your grocery list, ‘cause here’s what you need:

– 1 cup flour (easy peasy)
– 2 tsp baking powder (don’t forget this, or it’ll be a flop)
– 1/2 tsp salt (just a pinch!)
– 2/3 cup sugar (sweet, sweet magic)
– 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (the good stuff)
– 2 tbsp butter, melted (mmm)
– 1/2 cup milk (gotta keep it moist)
– 1 tsp vanilla (essential)
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (if you’re feeling fancy, but totally optional)
– 1/4 cup sugar (yup, more sugar)
– 1/2 cup brown sugar (because why not?)
– 1/4 tsp salt (again, just a smidge)
– 2 tbsp cocoa powder (double trouble)
– 1 cup boiling water (careful, hot stuff!)

Now, you might think, “That’s a lot of sugar!” And you’d be right, but it’s dessert—live a little, you know?

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, y’all, story time! So, there was this one rainy Saturday (the perfect kind for baking), and I was scrolling through old family recipes, right? I stumbled upon this gem my grandma used to make. I remember her whipping it up in a flash and the whole house smelling like chocolatey heaven. I got all nostalgic and decided to give it a shot.

I mean, I didn’t even have all the ingredients, but I made it work. I swapped some things—added a bit of cinnamon, ‘cause why not? And OMG, the first bite took me back! Now, it’s my go-to for cozy days, potlucks, and when I just need a chocolate fix. Plus, it’s so dang easy!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, for real, here’s the secret sauce—pouring that boiling water on top of the batter without stirring! I know it sounds ridiculous, but trust me. It creates this magical layer of pudding underneath. You’re gonna want to scoop from the bottom when you serve it—like, it’s a whole vibe.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check the oven early: Bake for 30 minutes. Actually, start checking at 28 minutes. You want it set but still gooey!
2. Use a bigger dish: If you’re worried about it bubbling over, go for a bigger casserole dish. Better safe than sorry!
3. Ice cream is mandatory: Seriously, don’t even think about serving it without a scoop of vanilla on top. It’s like peanut butter and jelly—totally a match made in heaven.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, good luck trying to keep this around! But if you manage to have leftovers (which I doubt), just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or pop it in an airtight container. It’s best served warm, so maybe zap it in the microwave for a few seconds—just enough to get it cozy again.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In another bowl, mix the topping ingredients: sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle over the batter without stirring.
Carefully pour boiling water over the top; do not stir.
