Chocolate is made from the fruit of the cacao tree. The beans of the tree undergo a considerable amount of processing before chocolate is produced but end up with lots of antioxidants. Chocolate is believed to boost serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain, which have an uplifting effect. It also contains stimulants which increases alertness. The feel-good factor, provided by chocolate and recipes with chocolate, gives an instant lift when the energy levels are low.

In addition, there are some people who find eating chocolate cake or pudding soothing because they associate it with comfort or REWARD from their childhood.

There is nothing better than to finish off a hearty meal with a dessert and the best dessert ever created is a chocolate dessert. It is no wonder that a chocolate cake is the most popular dessert with Americans.

Much of the desserts we know well are the ones that were handed down from family member to family member. These desserts are what we class as "comfort food". Comfort foods are foods that can trigger a memory or a feeling from your past; it can also offer you contentment ...
... and is meaningful.

In all of my life of creating my favourite dishes..."Desserts", I have found one of the best recipes for Chocolate Pudding that I make all the time for my family and they love it.

This recipe is quicker than most, as you do not need to do any greasing of dishes nor do you need to premix in a bowl before pouring into a baking dish, you just mix directly into an oven proof dish.
At first you have to whisk the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl (better if the bowl is of stainless steel and heat proof). Shake to make a thick paste of with the ½ cup of milk.

Add the egg yolks (not altogether, one at a time). Whisk them to blend into the cocoa paste mixture. Place them aside while you heat the milk and cream. Prepare a strainer (medium sized), and a bowl near the stove because you have to strain the pudding after getting cooked.

To prevent scorching the milk in the saucepan, rinse the saucepan with clean water. Next pour the remaining milk with the cream on the pan. Boil the mixture with a low heat, and remove after when the milk foams up on the pan. Then pour the milk into the egg mixture, and whisk until the mixture surface gets smooth.

Place the pudding mixture into a clean and large saucepan (must be of heavy bottomed). Place the saucepan on the stove on medium-low heat. Stir the mixture constantly for around 4-5 minutes until it thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise. Remove the saucepan from the stove.

At times lumps may form in the mixture during cooking for the high heat. The worst event of high heat is scorching. So, strain it through the strainer to take out any lumps. Make sure you reach the bottom of the saucepan to prevent scorching or sticking.

Next, add the finely chopped chocolate, vanilla extract. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth. Better use a rubber spatula to stir the mixture. Your pudding is ready to serve!

Serve the pudding after your will. Serve it on wine glasses or on small bowl with spoons. Moreover, you can serve it warm or after chilling. There are people who love the skin over the pudding. To form a skin over the pudding, place the bowl uncovered until it cools. If you do not like the skin, simply cover the pudding bowl with a plastic sheet. Add some whipped cream over the pudding to make it more delicious.
