Recipe
Make the chocolate icebox pudding:
Whisk together sugar and water in medium heatproof bowl set over pan of barely simmering water until sugar is dissolved. Add chocolate and continue to whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Add egg yolks, one at a time, and whisk until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
Beat together butter and confectioners' sugar in mixer bowl 3 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy, using electric mixer at medium-high speed. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate mixture and beat 2 minutes. Continue to beat mixture until blended.
Whip heavy cream in bowl until soft peaks form, using electric mixer on high speed. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until well chilled.
Make the chocolate decorations:
Line baking sheet with waxed paper or aluminum foil.
Place solid ivory and shortening in small resealable plastic bag. Microwave on medium (50% power) for 1 minute or until it softens. Knead bag until mixture is smooth. Add orange food color if desired or leave plain. Place dark chocolate and shortening in another small resealable plastic bag. Microwave on medium (50% power) for 1 minute or until it softens. Knead bag until mixture is smooth. Snip off one corner of each bag and drizzle dark chocolate onto prepared baking sheet into Halloween shapes: witches' hats, pumpkins, spider webs, spiders, broomsticks, cats, ghosts, etc. Add orange or white accents to decorations with melted solid ivory. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Keep decorations refrigerated until serving time.
Spoon pudding into bowls and top with sweetened whipped cream. Decorate each with chocolate decorations.
