• Melt chocolate over low heat in small saucepan. Stir in milk and heat through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs. Beat in 3 tablespoons sugar and salt. Beat in chocolate mixture. Pour into prepared dish. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes, until set.
• In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Beat in 3 tablespoons sugar and cocoa. Spoon meringue over baked pudding and return pudding to oven to brown meringue, 2 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the bread cubes in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Combine the milk, 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla; pour over bread. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. , Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean., In a small bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. , Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing meringue to sides of dish. Bake, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until meringue is golden. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spoon into individual serving dishes. Chill until serving. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and M&M's.

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. If making chocolate pudding, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks.
• Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
• Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives used like a scissor, or mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the ice water over the flour mixture, tossing with a fork; adjust enough of the remaining water, by the tablespoon, tossing, so that the dough holds together. Flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the edge under to make a stand-up edge; crimp. Prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pie plate to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the filling:
• In a heatproof bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks to break up, and then set aside. In a small, heavy saucepan, stir together the sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in the scalded milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened and bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir a little of the hot mixture into the yolks. Stir the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Heat over very low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, and do not let boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla until melted and smooth. Scrape into a clean bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and scrape the filling into the piecrust. Cool on a wire rack.
• Make the meringue:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. In a large bowl, add the salt to the egg whites. With an electric mixer at medium speed, beat just until soft peaks form. Add the cornstarch mixture and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes. Spread the meringue mixture over the cooled chocolate filling, make sure the meringue touches the piecrust edge all the way around. Bake until the meringue is golden and its internal temperature registers 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve soon after. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, then whisk in the cream. Set the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Continue to whisk and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips and vanilla. Let stand until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes, then stir gently until the pudding is smooth.
• Divide the pudding among 6 small dessert dishes. Let cool for about 20 minutes to serve warm and soft, or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours to serve chilled and firm. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix milk, 1/3 cup marshmallow creme, pudding mix and chocolate in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour into crust; cover with plastic wrap pressed onto surface of pudding to prevent skin from forming.
• Beat egg whites and cornstarch in large bowl with mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in remaining marshmallow creme. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Sift cocoa powder over beaten whites; beat on high speed until well blended. Remove plastic wrap from pudding; spoon egg white mixture over warm pudding; spread to edge of crust to seal.
• Bake 12 to 15 min. or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely on wire rack. Refrigerate 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium size microwaveable bowl, on high, microwave 4 chocolate squares for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted, stirring after 1 minute.
• To the melted chocolate add ONLY 4 OUNCES (NOT the 8 ounces!) of cream cheese, half of the marshmallow creme, the dry pudding mix & the milk, beating with a mixer until well blended, then spoon into the crust.
• In a separate bowl, beat the last half of the marshmallow creme & the Cool Whip until well blended, then spread over the chocolate layer.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm, then, if desired, use 1 square of chocolate to make chocolate curls & arrange them on top of the pie.
• To make chocolate curls, microwave the chocolate square on high for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb.
• Slowly pull a vegetable peeler along the bottom of the square to make a curl, then repeat to make additional curls.

Steps:

• Whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the meringue pieces. Heat the chocolate in the microwave for 30-45 secs or until melted, stirring halfway through. Spoon 2 tbsp cherry compote into each of 4 glasses, then top with the meringue mix. Drizzle melted chocolate on top of each glass and serve.

Steps:

• Note: You will also need 8 mini pudding basins, each with a capacity of 6 fl oz or 175 ml, generously brushed with melted butter.
• Place the broken-up chocolate, along with the butter and brandy, in a large heatproof bowl, which should be sitting over a saucepan of barely simmering water.
• Make sure the bowl does not touch the water.
• Keeping the heat at its lowest, allow the chocolate and butter to melt slowly.
• This should take 6-7 minutes.
• Remove it from the heat and give it a good stir until it is smooth and glossy.
• While the chocolate is melting, place the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk on high speed with an electric hand whisk until the mixture has doubled in volume, about 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your whisk.
• You need to end up with a thick, mousse-like mixture that, when you stop the motor and lift the whisk, leaves a trail like a piece of ribbon.
• Now you need to pour the melted chocolate mixture around the edge of the bowl (it is easier to fold it in from the edges) and then sift the flour over the mixture.
• Using a large metal spoon, carefully but thoroughly fold everything together.
• Be patient here as careful folding and cutting movements are needed.
• This will take 3-4 minutes.
• Now divide the mixture between the pudding basins (it should come to just below the top of each one) and line them up on a baking tray.
• If you like, the puddings can now be covered with clingfilm and kept in the fridge or freezer until you need them.
• When you are ready to bake the puddings, pre-heat the oven to 200C or 400F.
• Remove the clingfilm and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 14 minutes if they have been chilled first, but only 12 if not; after that time the puddings should have risen and feel fairly firm to the touch, although the insides will still be melting.
• Leave to stand for 1 minute before sliding a palette knife around each pudding and turning out on to individual serving plates.
• If you are cooking these puddings from frozen, give them about 15 minutes cooking time and allow them to stand for 2 minutes before turning out.
• Serve straight away, with some chilled cream to pour over.
