BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PUDDING
From Barefoot Contessa Parties! cookbook. The following is Ina's introduction to the recipe: Remember My-T-Fine chocolate pudding? It's the ultimate comfort food. Well, I like to take something familiar and bump up the flavor with high-quality ingredients. This pudding gets its flavor from good cocoa powder and imported semisweet chocolate. It's the real thing and, surprise!, it's not much harder to make than the packaged kind, and it's sooooo much better.
