chocolate pudding.

Since we don't have an oven in the house, I have had to resort to using drastic measures to create every possible kind of non-oven-requiring dessert available. First there was fudge, and now this.

I snagged this off a Youtube video and improvised on it.

You'll need:

1/4 cup - sugar

2/5 cup - cocoa powder

2 tbsp - cornstarch (cornflour)

2 cups - milk

chocolate chips (optional)

1 egg

a whisk

and a medium saucepan.

1. Add the sugar, cocoa powder and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk slowly. Dont allow the cornflour to clump.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, and temper it [tempering prevents the raw egg from turning into an omelette on exposure to quick heat]. Here's what ya do.. pour a little bit of the hot mixture into the egg and stir REALLY quick, till the entire thing is warm enough.

3. Pour the egg into the saucepan while constantly stirring.

4. Boil and whisk till thick.

5. Add the chocolate chips or pieces. After they've melted, take it off the heat and pour into small cups or ramekins.

6. Refrigerate. Voila! Delicious pudding :D
