I was just discussing chocolate pudding this past week with my son and daughter-in-law, and how when I made pudding for my son when he was little, I wouldn't cover it so the top would get a delightfully chewy, fudgy consistency to it. We both loved it and would bend over the bowl, spoons in hand and carefully scrape the top off and savor it. This recipe sound delectably rich. I make a much simpler option with milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar and vanilla, with a chopped chocolate bar and a few tablespoons of butter stirred in at the end. It never fails to make me sigh deeply in delight.
This does not have the light airy consistency of pudding but rather a rich, thick, fudgy texture. Even though the photo makes it look fairly non-descript, it was good enough to stop people from talking!
"Food, art, music and other things that take over our senses are that way. In one fell swoop, they can stop us in our tracks. That sweetness hits home; these textures burst on the tongue; this spice brings it all together. That note lifts me, that painting transports me. I am taken to another level of my human life." YES. To dive deeply into the sensuality of life, to make the time and space for these experiences. We lose track of that in our rush and crush world. Thank you for helping me to slow down and savor this morning. <3
I'm going to try the pudding recipe this weekend. We are empty nesters, though, so I'll have to sacrifice myself and eat the extra portions over a few days!
