Thrift Lady's Chocolate Fudge Pudding- oh my God!!!!!

thriftlady_2

The thing I really like about the pud is that it tastes really luxurious, like the puds Nigella and Nigel (Slater) always insist you use expensive chocolate for. I've nothing against expensive choc- it's the only kind I eat but you don't need it to make a glorious tasting fudgy pudding. There's only a couple of spoonfuls of butter in it too. But the best thing about it as far as my family is concerned is that there are no eggs in it, which makes it OK for DD:)

Thick cream is an essential accompaniment;)

I made this pudding this week and OMG it was fantastic. I even phoned a friend to tell her how wonderful it was and I will be passing the recipe on. Thanks for this recipe. I am in love with it!!!

I am doing it again for pudding tonight. Got some double cream left from yesterday so DH should be a very happy boy!

Just hope corner shop has got brown sugar.

I made Queenie's everyday biscuits for the children in my class. They were much enjoyed. Thank you Queenie.

Just had chocolate fudge pudding tonight. Everyone suitably impressed. I like the egg free aspect too as neighbours hens are moulting and thus not laying many eggs at the moment.
All I can add is thank goodness Paul McKenna is making me thin!:j

Our houseguest this weekend is violently allergic to eggs so finding a dessert he can have can be a challenge. Spotted this recipe at just the right time, and it was so scrummy I could envisage it being served in expensive restaurants. Sent him off with the recipe ...

Yes, it's two thirds of a cup:) . Is there a way of writing fractions so that it's clear ?

Thanks Queenie, :T you learn something new every day!

Watch out for gratuitous use of έǾДά¥®§ on the daily thread!

Back on topic, I'm making everyday biscuits tomorrow, and Thriftlady's pud on Friday for guests.

:T Thanks, it's a bit long-winded though isn't it ? ⅔ ¼ ¾

I think this is an excellent pudding - but I usually make it with black coffee rather than water, which gives a lovely mocha flavour - you can also try with a couple of spoons of whiskey or brandy for an adult pudding. I'm going to try with the grated rind of an orange and the juice - for a chocolate orange taste which I think will work too!

I mean, once you have a brilliant basic recipe it would be a crime not to exploit it, wouldn't it? :rotfl:
