Grandmas Chocolate Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, heat the milk, butter and chocolate until chocolate is melted (chocolate may appear curdled)., Combine sugar, flour and salt. Sprinkle over chocolate mixture (do not stir). Cover and continue to cook in a double boiler over medium-low heat, 20 minutes. With a wooden spoon, stir until smooth. Remove from the heat., Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and a thermometer reads 160°. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to dessert dishes., Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. If desired, top with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Sift and whisk sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan.
• Heat saucepan over medium heat. Pour milk in slowly, whisking constantly until incorporated. Cook, stirring often with a metal spoon, until pudding is noticeably thicker and clings to the spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Divide between 4 small bowls and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Combine first 5 ingredients, 1-1/2 Tbs.
• cocoa powder and 3/4 cup sugar in a bowl.
• Pour into an 8 or 9 inch baking dish.
• Combine 2 Tbs.
• cocoa powder, 1 cup sugar and hot water in a separate bowl.
• Pour over cake batter and bake about 40 minutes.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a chilled bowl.
• Using chilled beaters, whip cream mixture until stiff.
• Serve cake upside down with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Sift flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in milk, butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate. Pour mixture into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan.
• Mix brown sugar, cocoa, and remaining white sugar together in another bowl. Spread over the top of the batter in the pan. Pour in water.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the graham crumbs and sugar. Drizzle in the oil or melted margarine. Use a spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly to moisten the crumbs, then drizzle in the soy milk and stir again to form a crumbly dough.
• Pour the crumbs into the pie plate. Press crumbs into the sides of the plate first, then work your way down to the bottom. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Let the crust cool before filling.
• In a small (2-quart) saucepan off the heat, combine 1 cup of the almond milk and the cornstarch. Use a fork to whisk until the cornstarch is good and dissolved. Whisk in the remaining almond milk, the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. It's O.K. if the cocoa is a bit clumpy at first; it will dissolve eventually.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally. Keep a close eye because once boiling, you want to lower the heat and bring it to a slow rolling boil. Whisk consistently until the mixture is thickened, which should be about 7 minutes.
• Add the chocolate chips and mix to melt. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into the prepared pie shell and let cool for about 15 minutes on the counter, just until it stops steaming like mad. To keep a skin from forming, place a circle of parchment paper over the filling. Refrigerate and let set for at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine the raisins, almonds, citron, apples, and brandy in a bowl, and allow to sit overnight.
• The next day, preheat oven to 300°F.
• Butter a 2-qt. pudding mold (or souffle dish).
• Combine the fruit mixture with the remaining ingredients, one at a time. Mix well, and turn into pudding mold and cover tightly with parchment paper secured with cotton string.
• Place a large roasting pan in oven on center rack. Place mold in pan and fill roasting pan with boiling water, halfway up sides of mold. Steam 7 to 8 hours, adding more water if necessary.
• To serve, loosen the side of the pudding with a knife and invert onto a serving platter.
• Serve warm, with your favorite hard sauce. (There are several variations posted here on Zaar).
