Friday Fun…A Different Pudding

Let’s get the weekend started with a recipe with CHOCOLATE in it!

 

This dessert recipe has been in my “repertoire” for more years than I can remember. In fact, it was on a small index card (remember those?) until I digitized it several years ago.  I have no idea where I found it, but most likely it was in a magazine or the newspaper, back when I still took the paper and they had more than just ads in them. 

 

 

Joann Carmody-Vasquez’ Hot Fudge Pudding

 

¾ c cake flour

1 ½ tsp. baking powder

Pinch salt/
  ½ cup sugar

1 ½ T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ T. melted butter

1/3 c half and half

2 ozs grated bittersweet chocolate

¾ tsp. vanilla 

1 c. dark brown sugar

¼ c. cocoa powder

1 ½ c strong brewed coffee

Sift together, 2-3 times, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder.  Put the dry mixture into a bowl, add half and half, grated chocolate, and vanilla.  Stir until partially combined.  Add melted butter; stir until combined, but don’t overmix.  Pour batter into 8”x8”x2” buttered pan.

 

Sift together dark brown sugar and cocoa powder.  Spread the mixture over the batter in the pan and pour on coffee.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop (or two) of ice cream; decorate with grated chocolate.

 

*You can make this ahead of time, up to pouring the coffee on top and baking it.  I took it to a friend’s house and had the coffee in a separate container.  Just before baking, pour on the coffee, then bake. 

 

 (This was AI Generated. I'm making it this weekend.)

Enjoy!

I can't even remember the last time that I had pudding, but that looks delicious, and I would certainly want a bowl of that, haha.

Good morning Kathy. Is this a favorite of Larry's? Sounds delicious. Do you go for a long walk before or after indulging? Enjoy your treat.

Wayne Martin Larry likes it, but then again, he'll eat anything I place in front of him.  LOL     We walk every day so we can eat dishes like this.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 the key with this or other recipes is to prep/measure first. Then it's a matter of dumping it into a bowl.

Wow that looks great however it is well beyond my capabilities as a cook (I max out at 4 ingredients and one dish).

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty What I learned with dishes like this is gather your ingredients, measure them, then it's super easy.

Kathy even though this would do a number on my blood sugar, I would not be able to resist trying it if it was in front of me.  🤪

Good evening Kathy Streib ,

OMG this looks so yummy! Anyone who loves chocolate and coffee is going to want to make this one (right up my ally)!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX This is one you can make partially. Then place it in the oven during dinner. It's great when warm.

Yummy!  I'd love it with coffee but Gary would not.  How is it without the coffee.  And thinking about it that is a silly question!!  Serve a little ice cream with it and Les Viola!
