Choco-Liscious Chocolate Cream Pie (Or Pudding)

M-M-M-M-M!!!!

MOVE OVER SCHEDULED POSTS..

There's a new 'gal' (recipe) in town...on the blog...and the rest of you

are going to have to move aside until this one is posted. 

I just saw this lovely recipe at Sunflower Supper Club, posted by Julie,

who offered to make 28 pies for the son of a friend's wedding reception!!

TWO.HOURS.FROM.HOME!!

Now that's the kind of friend we all want to have, right?

This was an easy recipe - I had Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

in the fridge that needed to be used, and headed right to the kitchen as soon as I printed this recipe. (I can cut the sugar amount in half making my own s.c.m.=). 

WARM Chocolate pudding is SUCH comfort food for me...right along

with Cheesey Chicken Chowder or my Mom's Jello Dessert or a 

family favorite Creamy Tacos.

Since we all know that confession is good for the soul, I have to confess...

I ate so much of the pudding while it was still warm, I had to run to the store to get the mini graham cracker pie crusts...cause I love the crunch with the pudding,

to be able to fill 4 little pies, instead of one big one.

The little ones are 'fun' eating anyway. 

Of course, you can just enjoy this as pudding - maybe layered with Cool Whip in a pretty stemmed goblet? 

Your choice...or enjoy it all while it's warm.  

 I can testify to the fact....IT'S FABULOUS!! 

This will definitely be enjoyed in our home again soon...very soon. 

(I may have to double the batch!) And I do believe I'll add a dollop of peanut butter just to see if it will stop me eating it all at once.  ha
