Easy chocolate dessert recipe

Luscious dark chocolate combined with a sprinkle of nuts in a creamy chocolate mousse like chocolate dessert is a beautiful ending to great meal. After lunch is the time that our tastebuds generally crave for something sweet and this quick and easy to make delicious dessert was just right.

Blog hopping as usual from one yummy food world to the other I came upon this beautifully presented eggless chocolate pudding at sharmispassions. The tempting pictures, the on hand list of ingredients all just persuaded me to make it then and there (Warning:Blog hopping sometimes has real dangerous side effects too-extra calories and being overpowered by a strong urge to take a bite of what you see:). Looking at the creamy eggless chocolaty dessert I knew my family would just love it and sure enough they did. Thanks Sharmi.

Ingredients for the chocolate dessert:
Custard powder - 3 tbsp
Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp
Milk - 1 and 1/2 cups
Sugar - 2 t
Choco chips - 1.5 tbsp(I used 20 gms of dark chocolate with fruit and nuts)
Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp

Method for making eggless chocolate dessert:
1- Note: Please keep all ingredients ready before you start making the pudding as it all comes together very fast. You may have two glasses ready to pour it in or decide to have a bowl instead. This chocolate dessert serves 2-3 people.
2- Take 1/2 cup of milk and add in the custard powder,cocoa powder,sugar and mix well to form a lump free mixture.
3- Melt the 20 gms dark chocolate bar in a microwave for 30 seconds in a microwave proof bowl and keep aside.
4- Heat the remaining milk(1 cup)in a bowl. Add in the custard powder mixture and mix well to avoid any lumps. Add in the melted chocolate and stir well. You will find that soon the mixture thickens into a chocolate mousse like consistency. Switch off gas and pour into the mould/glasses.
5- Cover the mould with a cling film and refrigerate. Serve garnishes with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings.
Truly a wonderful treat for anyone who loves chocolates.
