(Makes 2 1/2 Cups)  If your New Year's resolutions included an effort
to eat better in  1999, we hope you've been enjoying the month of
January at  Recipe-a-Day. The Cook & Kitchen Staff are finishing up 31
days of  Recipe-a-Day~Light, as recipes from members begin tomorrow.
Today, we're going to learn to snack a little better by making smart
substitutions to reduce calories and extra fat. You'll find this
smooth and creamy pudding makes a great dessert or snack, and it
contains only about 205 calories with 6 grams of fat per serving.
(Remember, the old-fashioned recipe contained about 375 calories per
serving with 20 grams of fat!)  In a heavy saucepan over medium-low
heat, whisk together egg,  condensed milk, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt
until smooth. Slowly add  the milk and bring the mixture to a boil,
making sure to whisk  constantly until the mixture has thickened, about
10 minutes.  Remove the mixture from the heat source and add the
chocolate and  vanilla extract. Whisk the pudding until the chocolate
has melted.  Transfer to a bowl and place plastic wrap directly on top
of the  pudding. Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Spoon out
individual portions and let stand for about 5 minutes prior  to
serving; near-room temperature enhances the chocolate flavor.  Posted
