Not For Wimps Chocolate Custard Pudding

Aren’t the most popular mission trips the ones that take us far from our own neighborhood? Russia is easy; our own neighborhood is a constant challenge. Has anyone consistently had the boldness and clarity of Jesus in testifying about the gospel? Never. Has anyone consistently avoided the fear of man in evangelism? Certainly not. There is a “foolishness” inherent in the message of the cross. The clear proclamation of the gospel does not make us look good. It doesn’t make us popular.

INGREDIENTS

7	oz	Semi-sweet chocolate, no
		substitutions!
4	T	Butter
2	c	2% milk, don't use whole or
		cream
4		Egg yolks, with the small
		white "tails" re
3	T	Cornstarch.
1/2	c	Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Place cornstarch in a small measuring cup. Remove 1/4 c. milk from 2
c. Pour over cornstarch. DO NOT STIR. Let sit while you prepare the
rest.  Put milk and chocolate in an 8 cup glass pitcher, and microwave
on  high for about 3 minutes, remove, beat with whisk or fork, and
continue heating and stirring until you have melted all the  chocolate.
If a few flecks remain, it's okay. Beat egg yolks with  sugar. Pour a
bit of the hot chocolate/milk mixture into the beaten  egg yolks, and
stir. Continue adding hot chocolate to the egg yolks  until you have
added about 3/4 c. of the mixture. Then add this back  into the large
container of hot chocolate mixture.  Gently stir the cornstarch mixture
and it will appear very stiff.  Continue to stir and the cornstarch
will suddenly blend smoothly into  the milk. Add this smooth mixture to
the chocolate-egg mixture and  stir well. Return to microwave, and heat
on high for about l minute.  Scrape sides well, beat mixture, and
continue heating for l minute  intervals or less. Mixture will seem to
thicken quickly at the edges,  and may even seem to curdle. Don't
panic. Remove, and beat  vigorously, and it will smooth. When it is at
about the consistency  of a light mayonnaise, fluffy and pudding-y,
remove from heat, and  stir in butter. Voila!  Recipe by: Judith Burke
