I've been looking all over for a chocolate pudding recipe without corn starch!! Thanks so much for sharing! Looks great, will be making it today :-)

Brilliant!! Maybe I'll try that. Just cook it a little longer for a lovely chocolate spread. Mix in some toasted ground hazelnuts and it's probably just like nutella!

oh, one more thing... i found a good use for my failed pudding this morning... spread on toast! I had a delicious peanut butter-chocolate toast this morning :)!

2010-02-08T22:59:09.632-05:00

aww, so I tried it after skimming off the top layer. I think I let it boil for too long after incorporating the eggs. I kept thinking it would get thicker so I let it boil for longer than a few minutes. Anyway the taste is all there (and is it delicious!) but the texture is more like... a very dense chocolate truffle cake, but in a jar ;)

actually i find it too sweet for my liking. If I remake it I think I will cut the chocolate chips down by about half... :) My sweet tooth is very very small!

Hmm, wish I had an answer for you, but I think if everything else is in there, it should be really yummy:)

2010-02-08T12:58:52.828-05:00

I covered the top with plastic wrap. I'll taste it tonight and let you know how it is. The only thing I did differently from the recipe is that I forgot to add the salt so I didnt put it in until after the eggs were incorporated. Maybe that had something to do with it... oh well!

2010-02-08T11:29:05.121-05:00

Clifford - I haven't had this happen to me, but I'd say as long as all of your ingredients were fresh, it's probably fine. I'd skim it off and give the pudding a taste test. If something is off, I'd try again. Did you cover the top with plastic wrap or a piece of parchment? I never let mine form a skin so perhaps that's what happens?

Not sure why there was separation (perhaps it needed a little more time on the stove?), but do let me know how it tastes!

2010-02-08T09:25:00.617-05:00

Hi again, Peggy! So I ended up making the pudding with heavy cream--might as well go all out :P

I have a question though. It's been in the fridge overnight to set and there is a layer of yellow on the top (coloured like fat). Is this normal? And I assume this is fat that's come up to the surface?

Unplanned Cooking - I couldn't agree with you more. Pancake mix? A total sham. I think the issue is it's intimidating when you aren't skilled in the kitchen and the boxes make things look so much easier. Even I get a little nervous when tackling something new!

I am planning to use this with light cream instead. wish me luck!

2010-01-30T11:52:16.624-05:00

Lately I've been finding it's just as easy to cook a lot of foods from scratch than buy processed. The trick is building up your confidence :). Yummy pudding!

Blegh, cornstarch in pudding! My grandma would smack me for that. ;)

2010-01-29T12:21:50.564-05:00

Clifford, great question. I use lowfat milk instead of whole milk and haven't had a problem. However, I haven't tried switching out the heavy cream. I would imagine you could use half&half or regular milk, but you'll lose some of the creaminess. If you try it out, please let me know!!

PS - I do try to put things in perspective and remember that there are 6 servings so 6 into 800 calories isn't so bad:)

2010-01-29T11:56:16.462-05:00

i've a question: is there any lower-calorie substitute for the heavy cream? one cup is about 800 calories!

Chocolate and heavy cream, what could be better? I'm making the ultimate chocolate cake this weekend for my daughter's birthday it calls for a chocolate custard to fill each layer (there's four), but it's sooo good. The recipe is very similar for the custard.

Any chance you could post the weight of those choclate chips?
Different sizes might have different yields, and I also might want to chop my own.

Oh my god, looks sooo delicious. It reminds me that I love making pudding. I'll have to try this. Thanks for the inspiration!!

who knew pudding was so easy to make from scratch?...

2010-01-28T16:05:39.610-05:00

who knew pudding was so easy to make from scratch?

think this would work as a special dessert with whipped cream and berries on top in our house...
