Dad's Favorite Dessert

When we were kids growing up, Mom used to make the best homemade chocolate pudding. Then she'd whip some cream and we'd have that lovely smooth chocolate pudding, warm with sweetened, vanilla-laced dollops of whipped cream melting on top of it.

Here's the recipe!

Chocolate Pudding

1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. cocoa powder
3 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. salt
2 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla

Mix sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt until well blended. Gradually blend in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Keep stirring and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Serve cold or warm with whipped cream, or just cream poured over it. Don't insult this pudding with Cool Whip...use the real thing!

Did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night? I was thrilled at who won. And especially thrilled at who DIDN'T win!! All of the contestants looked wonderful and had really worked the weight off!!

I only have 14 more posts before this year is over and Blog365-2008 is history. I wonder if I'm so used to posting that I'll keep doing it...or if I'll never do it again. LOL I will probably (hopefully) find a happy medium!

I don't even want to think about how bad the roads may be this morning as I get ready for work. Yesterday was horrid again. Snow on top of ice? I'd rather deal with whipped cream on top of pudding!
