Chocolate pudding is a good recipe for cake frosting. Cook chocolate pudding can be a nice warm treat on a winter day. Or in summer as a topping to gluten free, lactose free ice cream. This recipe makes a good mixture for making chocolate covered fruits, like bananas and strawberries. Or a drizzle topping on rice cereal treats. A little extra cornstarch will make it denser and closer to the texture of fudge. Pudding is a good high calorie treat for low eating ability days, such as after dental or tonsil surgery. Pudding is an occasional appetite stimulate, as well.
