Chocoholic? After eating this rich chocolate pudding you’ll question the integrity of box puddings! Use dark, semisweet, or milk chocolate, whatever suits your taste buds! You may want to use a bigger saucepan, I think its easier to mix in. A whisk would beat a spoon by far (no pun intended). If this dish isn’t rich enough for you, you could try using chocolate milk, but any milk is fine: skim, 1%, 2%, whole, even soy milk. Same thing with the chocolate; use whatever suits your taste buds: dark, semisweet, or milk chocolate.
Custards and Puddings
Chinese Coconut Pudding
Here is the recipe for the lusciously light, snow-white, squares of coconut pudding that is served at Chinese dim sum. Simple to make and delicious! Because of the risk of salmonella in raw egg whites, I would substitute the appropriate amount of pasteurized egg whites, or egg whites reconstituted from a powder.
Zabaglione
This is my favorite dessert recipe; serve with fresh raspberries, cookies, or vanilla ice cream!
Pumpkin Brulee
Serve this delicious fall creme brulee in small pumpkins for fantastic presentation!
Eggnog Creme Brulee
I have been making creme brulee for my wife for quite some time and one day she asked me, ‘Honey, is it possible to make creme brulee out of eggnog? I think that would be so yummy.’ So, I bought some eggnog and set about finding out if it is possible, and it is. You can also take the same recipe and pour it into a prepared pie crust for an eggnog custard pie. It’s a lot less work and hassle than individual ramekins.
Chocolate Liqueur Souffles
I won a gold medal with this recipe at the Armed Forces Culinary Olympics in March of 2007. Serve the souffles with fresh raspberry sauce, if desired.
Brown Rice Pudding
This rice pudding is made with brown rice and can be made with Splenda®.
Maja Blanca (Coconut Pudding)
This is a popular dessert among Filipinos. It can be served with different presentations. Ordinarily, when served in the Philippines, it will contain small kernels of sweet corn inside and topped with flakes of roasted coconut meat. Often it will also have shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
The REAL No-Guilt Chocolate Pudding
In my journey to applying the 90/10 (okay 80/20) rule to my food ethic that is, 90 percent good for you and 10 percent … not so much I’m always on a quest to find dessert holy grails. If I’m going to indulge in dessert, it better be good. Medjool dates, by themselves, no matter how exponentially sweet, are not going to cut it when I want something velvety, chocolatey and rich.
Indian Pudding
This Indian pudding is a surprising mix of milk and corn meal. It is excellent served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Meadowwood Tapioca Pudding
We love pudding here. Tapioca pudding is a favorite. We can make it on Friday, and it will be completely gone by Sunday night. Eat hot, or chill and eat. It is wonderful with whipped cream on top and a handful of fresh berries if it is berry season.
Chef John’s Pumpkin Creme Brulee
This is a great seasonal twist on the restaurant classic. The texture is actually closer to a pudding than a classic creme Brulee, and of course, the star of the dish is the crisp sugar top. This is great for your busy holiday schedule since you can make them the day before and then finish the sugar torching before you serve.
Lemon Impossible Pie
A quick and easy dessert recipe using coconut and eggs. I have used mashed banana instead of the lemon juice and I have also tried lime juice and orange juice. The banana is yummy! Serve with cream or ice cream.
Easy Chocolate Creme Brulee
What can be better than silky smooth creme brulee with rich chocolate? You don’t even need to water-bath this version! Use heart-shaped ramekins for a Valentines Day treat. This so easy and delicious, you’ll look like a professional chef! For an elegant presentation, top with a few raspberries and a mint sprig.
Eggnog Custard
This is a holiday favorite in my family. The custard is soft and yummy! If you like eggnog you might try this.
Grandma’s Baked Rice Pudding with Meringue
This is a delicious rice pudding recipe passed down from my husband’s grandmother. My husband cannot get enough of it!
Grandpere dans le Sirop
This dessert recipe was very popular in Quebec during the Depression and remains a favorite in many French Canadian homes to this day.
