Recipe Introduction



Here ya go - I'm ashamed to admit I will make this just for me after
the kids go to bed sometimes. }:) **evil grin**

Recipe may be doubled - it was origianlly a microwave recipe, so
this is my adaptation. Wren--



List of Ingredients




1/4 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder

3-4 Tbsp cornstarch (or xantham gum powder or arrowroot powder - I
use which ever I have on hand, remember that arrowroot will lose
it's thickening power if cooked too long so don't overcook)

1 slightly rounded scoop white stevia powder (I use KAL brand and it
comes with a scoop that is less than 1/16 of a teaspoon) - if you
don't have the scoop or use KAL brand, I would recommend that you
make it with very little then taste it when it's all done and see if
you need to add more. Different brands and forms of stevia taste
different.

1 Tbsp organic butter

1 cup milk - I use raw milk, full fat

1/2 cup heavy cream - I use raw cream

1 tsp vanilla

2 egg yolks, tempered

1/8 tsp cinnamom (optional)



Recipe



Combine cocoa, stevia and cornstarch in saucepan. Gradually whisk
in milk and cream until well blended.

On medium high heat, bring just to a boil and cook until it thickens
to the desired thickness. Add vanilla, cinnamon if desired. Remove
pudding from heat. Temper the the eggs: whip them a couple of times
with a fork in a small bowl, then add one tablesppon of hot pudding
mixture to the eggs at a time and stir well, adding about three
spoonfuls to the egg total. This helps the eggs adjust to the temp
of the pudding so they won't cook into strings when you add them to
the pudding mixture. Return pudding to heat and add the eggs to the
hot pudding mixture and stir in well. Pour immediately into serving
bowl(s), cover the surface with wax paper to prevent a skin from
forming and cool till time to serve.


I've made this with buttermilk and it was good. I made it with
kefir and it wasn't so good - too tart! I suppose you could use
plain old whole milk and it would be equally tasty.
