Hot summer calls for coooool food,
and the following dessert is a perfect
ending to a summer get-together.
It features an easy home-made chocolate
pudding and one of our favorite fresh
summer fruits, raspberries.
Try this next time you want to please
and impress with very little effort.
Chocolate-Raspberry Pudding Parfaits
Mix well in a microwaveable bowl:
3 TBSP. corn starch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 TBSP. real vanilla
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups whole milk
Microwave mixture on high for 2 minutes.
Stir thoroughly and continue to microwave
for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each increment.
When pudding is thickened and bubbly, remove bowl
from microwave and let cool slightly while you stir together
2 cups fresh raspberries, washed and well-dried
2 TBSP. raspberry jam
2 TBSP. sugar
in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat through, stirring,
about 5 minutes, or until sugar is thoroughly melted into the mix.
Remove from heat
Layer into each of 4 parfait glasses:
1/8 of the pudding and 1/8 of the raspberry sauce
Keep repeating layers as you fill each glass, then
chill for 45 minutes.
If you wish, top each parfait with lightly-toasted
slivered almonds and a dollop of
real whipped cream
just before serving.
Ahhhhh - FABULOUS!
