Hello
…
It
has been more than three months since my last post, so I thought I should come
back and say a quick hello to you all and wish you all a great festive season
ahead! Hope you all gearing up for
Christmas and New Year. I am also looking forward to the school holidays and time
off work.
Today’s
recipe is a hot chocolate pudding, perfect dessert to indulge during the
festive time. It’s quick ad unbelievably easy. Two weeks back we went to a
restaurant to eat some Chinese with friends and the kids ordered this chocolate
pudding for dessert. I was trying hard to be good and made up my mind not to order any dessert for myself but after tasting a spoonful
from my boy’s plate I couldn’t resist it, so me and my friend had to order one
for us ! It was a lovely dessert with gooey chocolate heaven in the middle…perfect
dessert for chocoholics like me. The taste was still lingering in my taste buds
so I had to recreate it as soon as possible. I checked few recipes online and
all seemed easy, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to make this on a Thursday night
when I felt like eating a pudding after dinner! I whipped up everything before
serving dinner and popped it in the oven and by the time we finished dinner
pudding was ready.
