Chocolate pudding has been my mother’s cure-all since I was a child. Skinned your knee, have some pudding. Menstrual cramps, try some chocolate pudding. Going through a break-up, here, have some pudding. It was the confectionery version of penicillin. Though it may not have solved all my problems, it certainly was indulgent, comforting and satisfying.
Pudding was quite popular in the 1980’s. Jello pudding cups, snack packs, pudding pops – pudding was indeed prolific. Perhaps my mother was easily seduced by cooperate media, subliminal messages influencing her problem solving abilities. After all, she had succumbed to the Tab campaign, drinking it in abundance. Whatever the motivation, I gladly accepted each and every offer without question. Sure, I’ll have some chocolate pudding, what did I have to lose?
The first time I had pudding made from scratch I was shocked. This was not the version I had come to know and love. This was far superior. Rich in flavor, thick, decadent and very filling, it became challenging to accept any other version. Making your own pudding is quite simple, takes less than 30 minutes and tastes very rewarding.
Enjoy these delicious puddings with a dollop of whip cream, sprinkles, or simply enjoy them as they are.
