Many times great difficulties precede special works of God. You can even say that God wins His greatest victories in the midst of apparent defeat. This can be clearly demonstrated in the life of our Lord on earth. When Jesus was crucified and placed in the tomb, it looked like the forces of unrighteousness had triumphed. However, it was in this time of apparent defeat that our victory for our salvation was won. This time of apparent defeat was followed by the resurrection of Christ.

INGREDIENTS

4	oz	Semisweet chocolate; chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
2	c	Half-and-half
1/2	c	Granulated sugar
1/2	c	Unsweetened cocoa
4	lg	Egg yolks
1	tb	Cornstarch
4	oz	White chocolate; chopped into 1/8-inch pieces

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring on the night by melting the semisweet chocolate in the top half of a
double boiler over medium heat. Stir the chocolate constantly with a rubber
spatula until it is completely melted and smooth, then remove from the heat
and set aside. Heat the half-and-half, 1/4 cup sugar, and the cocoa in a
3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, whisk to dissolve the
sugar. Bring to a boil. While the cream is heating, whisk the egg yolks,
remaining sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl until slightly thickened
and lemon-colored. Pour the boiling half-and-half mixture slowly into the
egg yolks and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat
over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil and
becomes quite thick, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and
transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the melted chocolate, then place
the bowl in ice water and stir the pudding until it is cold. Fold all but 2
tablespoons of chopped white chocolate into the pudding. Portion 3/4 cup of
the pudding into each of 4 dessert dishes and sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of
the remaining white chocolate over the top of each.
