Chocolate Custard Low Points

"This recipe is from BHG Low Fat Food 1995. The whole recipe is 8 1/2 points, and serves 6 - that's 1 1/2 points per serve. Tastes as good as the WW Instant Chocolate Pudding sachet dessert. I have used Splenda instead of sugar to keep the points low. Whole recipe has 1 gm fat."

  1. Very healthy, as written, but not very tasty. I doubled the ccoa, as suggested by another reviewer, then tasted it when it was finished. Still not very tasty. I used a trick from another recipe and tossed in a chunked up chocolate bar, which melted and I stirred it in. Tastier, but killed the healthful factor.
     
  2. Another tasty recipe in my search for the perfect non-fat pudding. Among those I've tried this was certainly the most creamy a true virtue. I added my splenda with the vanilla, a technique that avoids the funny taste that ladypit mentioned. My only comment would be that this lacked an intense chcocolate flavor, or at least for the tastebuds of this chocoholic. Thinking I will double the cocoa next time. Thanks for the low point treat.
     
  3. Delicious, nice, creamy chocolate pudding..and low fat! Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  4. My husband and I enjoyed this a lot, the kids thought it had a funny taste (probably from the splenda). My husband loved the crust on the top. I don't think this will replace my usual method (open a box and make) but it is easy and healthy and I'll probably make it again when I find myself without the other mixes. Thanks!
     
  5. Mmmmmm! This is yummy:) I had a wonderful time serving this to the little kids today who came over. Thanks a bunch!

I'm a part time at home Mom with two beautiful girls aged 10 and 13, who take after their mother and love to cook also. I love trying out new recipes, especially those that are light, healthy and have lots of flavour. My passion in life is to help woman grow into their potential, which I do through mentoring in my local church. For fun I enjoy reading, mosaics, gardening and having coffee with friends. My pet peeves - political correctness and blame shifting.
