Desciption

this pudding is one of the best i've ever had. it is extremely rich and decadent. on top of that, it's pretty low in fat (much healthier than what you'd buy at the store) and pretty simple to make. it comes from didi emmons who says: "the consistency is creamy and smooth, like that of jell-o chocolate pudding i loved as a child, but the flavor is far superior."
