"If I could get away with eating this once a week for the rest of my life, I would. It's high in sugar, fat, chocolate and creamy lusciousness. The better quality the ingredients you use, the better the pudding will be. Cook time is chill time."

This was rich and creamy, but was a little grainy. I had to use flour instead of cornstarch so that might be the reason for the grainy feeling. But my hubby still loved it asked for me to make it again. It made a whole bunch. Aggie
