Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Cream by Martha Stewart
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
Directions
Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a medium pan. Whisk in milk and yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and butter; whisk until melted.
Pour pudding through a sieve into a heatproof bowl set in an ice-water bath. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold and set, about 40 minutes (up to 2 days).
Whip cream and confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Divide cold pudding among 4 bowls, and serve with whipped cream.
This looks amazing! I may make this tomorrow night for dinner…
Crash hot potatoes by For The Love Of Cooking
- 12-15 baby red potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (PW said 450 but I used 400). Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. Place on a cooking sheet coated with cooking spray or drizzled with olive oil. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and with a potato masher, gently smash each potato. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and pepper (add a bit of your favorite dry herbs if you like).
Trying this for dinner tonight…
