What On Earth Is A Pizookie?! Brits Try America’s Giant Skillet Cookie!

What on earth is a *Pizookie*… and why are Americans so obsessed with it? 🍪🇺🇸 In today’s episode, Nakita and Elana are diving head-first into one of America’s most iconic restaurant desserts — the legendary **Pizookie** — a giant skillet-baked cookie served hot, gooey, and topped with melting ice cream. And yes… it’s every bit as indulgent as it sounds. If you’ve never heard of a Pizookie before, you’re not alone. Popularised in the 1990s by BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in the United States, this dessert quickly became famous for its contrast of textures — crispy edges, soft cookie centre, pockets of melted chocolate… and that signature scoop of ice cream melting straight into the skillet. So today, we’re recreating it at home… Mr H & Friends style 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸 With Elana helping in the kitchen, this cook quickly turns into one of those wholesome, chaotic, family moments we know you all love — mixing cookie dough, adding chocolate chips, pressing it into the skillet… and waiting for that magical oven moment when it transforms into something truly special. But the big question is… Is a Pizookie genius? Or is it completely over the top? When it comes out of the oven, topped with ice cream and melting before our eyes, we finally find out — tasting that famous hot-and-cold contrast that made this dessert a U.S. restaurant legend. And honestly… we weren’t quite prepared for the result. This is big, shareable dessert energy. Not delicate. Not pretty. Just dig-straight-in comfort food at its finest.
