CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY CREAM
This rich, creamy chocolate pudding is a comforting dessert for two that comes together in no time at all. Use Dutch-process cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor, but natural cocoa will work too, if that's what you keep around. This pudding is also easy to dress up for any occasion. Raspberry cream and a handful of fresh raspberries adorn this version, but you could also top with a dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Add the milk and egg yolk to a measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
- Add 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Whisk the milk and egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth.
- Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble, stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula and making sure to scrape the corners and bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles, cook for an additional minute until thick and creamy, taking extra care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid scorching the mixture, 6 to 8 minutes total. If you do get a few small lumps, whisk the mixture vigorously for a few seconds to smooth them. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spoon the pudding into two small serving bowls or glasses, and press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- When you are ready to serve the pudding, make the raspberry cream: Combine 1/2 teaspoon sugar with about 4 raspberries in a small bowl. Mash them together with a fork and macerate. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the top of the whipped cream and fold a few times. (The mixture should be streaky.)
- Top the pudding with the remaining raspberries and a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the Pudding: Bring to a boil the milk and vanilla bean in a large heavy bottomed pot.
- Meanwhile, whisk to blend the eggs, egg yolks, potato starch, sugar, cocoa powder, and flour. Remove the milk pan from heat once it boils. With the whisk in the center of the cocoa mixture, slowly pour the hot milk in and begin to combine the 2 mixtures. Finish pouring the milk in and whisk to fully incorporate.
- Return mixture to the pot and cook over medium heat, slowly whisking constantly to prevent scorching. The ingredients have a low burning temperature and will scorch easily so keep the whisk moving. Cook until large bubbles slowly rise to the surface of the pot. I call these "lava bubbles" because the large steam venting bubbles make me think of flowing molten lava. The pastry cream temperature is approximately 200 degrees F. Remove pot from the heat and whisk in the butter. Remove the vanilla bean from the pudding. Pour pudding into a heat resistant bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- For the Whipped Cream: Combine all the ingredients in a mixer bowl and whip on medium speed. Stop the mixer when you have medium peaks and finish whipping manually with whisk. This will help avoid ruining the whipped cream's luscious texture.
- For the Raspberry Puree: Combine the frozen berries and sugar in a pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook gently for 5 minutes. Strain the berries to remove the seeds. It's easier to pour if you can put it in a squeeze bottle.
- Ganache: Bring the heavy cream to a boil and immediately pour over the chocolate. Stir to combine. Allow to cool for easy handling.
- Berries: use the freshest and plumpest berries available.
- Assembly: Load pudding and whipped cream into separate pastry bags. Alternately pipe into tall sundae glasses, starting with chocolate pudding, then the whipped cream, rapsberry puree and fresh berries. Repeat as needed and top the parfait with whipped cream and fresh berries. Drizzle chocolate ganache across the top for extra indulgence!
SUNNY'S EASY RASPBERRY AND STRAWBERRY DANISHES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the fruit: Using a mortar and pestle, mini food processor or a sealed plastic bag and a mallet or rolling pin, crush the freeze-dried raspberries and strawberries together to a powder; some little pebbles are ok. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the icing and garnish.
- For the dough: Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish or 8- or 9-inch round pie pan with cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent dough out on a sheet of parchment paper. If using dough with perforations, gently pinch the seams to keep them together. Leaving about a 1-inch border on one of the short sides, sprinkle with the remaining fruit mixture, followed by a layer of the granulated sugar and then the brown sugar. Use a box grater or rasp and grate the butter evenly over the top. Starting with the short edge with the filling on it, roll, tucking as you go, towards the short edge with the empty border. Cut into 8 equal rounds and place in the prepared dish. Bake until the tops are golden, 13 to 14 minutes.
- For the icing: While the danishes are baking, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon of the reserved fruit mixture, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of preferred liquid. The icing should be thick like a glaze, but thin enough to pour. If needed, add more liquid.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm danishes. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with the remaining fruit mixture. Serve warm.
RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE PARFAITS
Steps:

SUNNY'S CHIA SEED PUDDING PARFAITS
I got this sweet treat idea from a social media post. I had no idea just how simple it was to bloom chia seeds, and how quickly it happens. In this recipe, I use rich and creamy oat milk. I make this the night before and have it for breakfast, or I decide before dinner that I'd like it as a healthy dessert and make it then, knowing the chia seeds will soak up the liquid and become "pudding" in just a few hours. I often keep chia seed pudding in the refrigerator for up to a week and enjoy it by itself or layered with other tasty ingredients. The pudding is lightly sweetened and has a fun popping texture that will remind you of poppy or pomegranate seeds.

Steps:
- For the pudding: In a small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and honey or agave. Add the oat milk, whisking to break up any clumps. Refrigerate for 3 hours, stirring halfway through. The pudding is ready when the seeds soak up all of the oat milk. It shouldn't be stiff; it should jiggle a bit. If needed, to slightly loosen for texture, add a splash of oat milk and stir.
- For the chocolate hazelnut and banana layer: Using a mini chopper, blend the banana and chocolate hazelnut spread until smooth.
- To assemble the parfaits: In a 6- to 8-ounce glass or cup, layer a quarter of the chia seed pudding, half of the blended banana mixture, and another quarter of the chia seed pudding. Garnish with half of the chopped hazelnuts and banana or plantain chips. Repeat with the second serving in another glass or cup. Serve immediately.
CREAMY CHOCOLATE PUDDING PARFAIT
Steps:
- In a medium pot combine milk and vanilla pudding mix, place over medium heat whisking constantly. Bring to a boil while continuing to whisk the mixture.
- In 3 medium bowls place white, dark and milk chocolate chips. Combine reserved chips together in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
- Remove mixture from the heat and evenly divide the hot pudding over the 3 bowls. Wait 1 minute then whisk the mixture to incorporate and melt the chips into the pudding.
- Set up 3 resealable bags into 3 large glasses so that it will be easy to pour the warm pudding into the bags. Pour the pudding into separate bags. Tie the bags closed with a twist tie. Place pudding into the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until pudding is chilled and set.
- Cut off the corner of each bag. Pipe each of the pudding mixtures evenly into 6 champagne glasses starting with the dark chocolate, white chocolate and ending with milk chocolate.
- Garnish with reserved chocolate chips.
SUNNY'S CHOCOLATE WHISKY MARTINI
Steps:
- Combine the raspberry preserves with a splash of vodka in a small bowl and mix to a syrupy consistency.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, whiskey and agave and shake.
- Drizzle the raspberry syrup into a martini glass and then pour in the cocktail. Garnish with frozen raspberries on a cocktail toothpick.
