Homemade Chocolate Pudding
Last week, my mom wrote me (Alice) a list of food items I should know how to make before I leave home. At the top of the list was homemade chocolate pudding. The recipe I used was from our 1956 Betty Crocker cookbook. Instead of "pudding," the cookbook called it "Chocolate Blanc Mange." Blanc Mange is French for "White Food." The taste was better than any other pudding I have ever tasted. Here is the recipe:
Chocolate Blanc Mange
Mix in saucepan.....2/3 cup sugar, 3 tbsp. cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, cut up (OR 1/3 cup cocoa). Stir in gradually...2 1/4 cups milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil 1 min. Remove from heat. Blend in 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Chill. Serve in sherbert glasses topped with fresh fruit, grape or other fruit juice (I think this is for the vanilla one), or whipped cream. Delicious, too, topped with vanilla ice cream. AMOUNT: 4 to 6 servings.

Yummy! Homemade chocolate pudding is always so good. We like to add peanut butter to ours.
