Chad and I at The Slow Roasted Italian have been enjoying a very busy Christmas vacation. While we are on vacation we have been featured on The Food Network UK's blog. We are so excited to share this with you.
We redeveloped an old family favorite with homemade chocolate pudding, real whipped cream and homemade peanut butter to make this an incredibly decadent treat!
Enjoy!
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a beautiful blessed New Year!!!
All our best wishes,
Donna and Chad

Chocolate Pudding
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (I love Pernigotti)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
In a medium pot over medium heat combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt, add milk slowly. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into a heat proof bowl and cover with plastic wrap (place the plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent the ‘skin’ from forming). Allow to chill until served. Serves 6 (1/2 cup servings).
Simple Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
In a tall mixing bowl whip cold whipping cream until peaks form. To prevent splattering start on low and increase mixer speed until peaks form. Add sugar continue to whip until medium peaks form. Chill until served.
