SAUCY MOCHA PUDDING

Saucy Mocha Pudding image

Both my grandmother and mother made this dessert. I have five children, though (four grandchildren now also)-when my turn at the recipe came, I learned it was best to double it! We've eaten Saucy Mocha Pudding with ice cream and whipped cream, but it's scrumptious just plain. It's very easy to prepare. So don't wait for a special occasion to try it...it sweetness any meal.
