This dessert recipe is one of my all time favorites….
scrumptious, elegant and ever so easy.
I have often used it for a last minute dinner party and I can pretty much always count on it.
This simple dessert is ideal for a young maiden who is learning the art of cookery.

I found this recipe, originally, through the lovely ladies at Lily Press… One of the ladies writes~

“Last week, my mom wrote me (Alice) a list of food items I should know how to make before I leave home. At the top of the list was homemade chocolate pudding. The recipe I used was from our 1956 Betty Crocker cookbook. Instead of “pudding,” the cookbook called it “Chocolate Blanc Mange.” Blanc Mange is French for “White Food.” The taste was better than any other pudding I have ever tasted.”

Chocolate Blancmange

serves~ 4 to 6

2/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup good cocoa

Blend in vanilla. Serve Warm or Chill…. in souffle cups or sherbet glasses topped with fresh whip cream, raspberries, and or chocolate shavings.

Enjoy…. always serve with L-O-V-E!

Isn’t it wonderful to spend quality time in the kitchen?

Some of my fondest memories were the times spent with my
momma & auntie in the kitchen when I was a young girl.
Those precious memories are irreplaceable and the opportunities for
theological discussions, literature conversations, laughter, singing, & Titus 2 talks are endless!
Be inspired to spend quality time in the kitchen
with your precious homemakers-in-training, you will be blessed and so will they.
