Divine (but easy!) Chocolate Pudding

The name says it all.  This pudding is not only incredibly easy to make, it is also decadent and silky smooth.  The hint of almond extract mixed in with the rich creamy chocolate is both unique and delicious.  You can eat it plain, but topped with almond flavored whipped cream and toasted almonds it was absolutely perfect!











Divine (but easy!) Chocolate Pudding
from Chocolate Never Faileth 

 1 C. whipping cream
1 C. chocolate chips
1 egg
1/4 C. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 TBSP. amaretto flavoring or 1 TSP. almond extract

In a small saucepan, bring the whipping cream to a boil. (If you have a ³sure simmer² setting on your microwave, use that instead and set it for 15 seconds of simmering). While the whipping cream is heating, pour the remaining ingredients into a blender. Transfer the hot cream to a Pyrex measuring cup with a spout. Turn on the blender and very slowly drizzle the simmering cream in a thin stream into the blender. Let the mixture blend for another few seconds until smooth. Pour into a glass bowl or demitasse serving cups. Chill for at least an hour. Garnish with whipped cream and a chocolate-dipped strawberry. Or do what I do: grab a spoon and dig in!

*Note:  If the cream is hot enough the egg will actually cook in the blender, so no need to worry about raw eggs.  However, if your pudding doesn't want to thicken up it probably means the egg didn't actually get cooked.

This is the best pudding recipe ever! Something else to remember though is that the chocolate chips being cold can make it not set up either...

That's very true! Cold chocolate chips will lower the temperature making it so the egg doesn't cook as well. I'm glad you liked it!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!
