  1. Ibought this magazine years ago when i came out, and this was our dessert of choice for many months. Alas, my magazine has been lost for years now, and I am thrilld to have this recipe again. Chocolaty and not too sweet, it still delivers a great kick to your sweet tooth.
     
  2. Oh my stars, Kaarin this was a winner with us. Such simple everyday ingredients turns into comfort food sumpreme. I scaled the recipe down to 2 serving besides that I followed the recipe. This recipe is thick, creamy, smooth, silky with just the right amount of chocolate. It tasted like an imported French chocolate pudding that DH is addicted to except much much more better. This pudding tasted more rich and decadent then it really is. All I can say is no more French pudding for us and hello Chocolate Blanc Mange! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen! I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
