Chocolate delight sweets cold - achookwoman

I made this today and the result was an amazing silky smooth pudding. I took a photo but my ipad wont let me load it... But the result looked exactly like the other photos with the lovely frothy top. Dividing into 6 portions is a good idea... I divided mine into 3 glasses hence we had a double serve each which was too large and rich (but didn't stop us finishing it). I will definitely make again but keen to experiment with some mango and coconut milk next time for a mango pudding.

Kulsha,  glad you liked it.  OMG a double serving!!!!  Let us know how the variations go.

We loved it with milk chocolate too Chookie - yes DH even had one but he left half his tea so that he could fit it in

Kulcha the dish I made today was with mango puree and coconut milk. It had sago in too. I'll post the recipe if it tastes ok.

Thanks Cookie, that would be awesome, and I've never tried sago before so that would be interesting. I also made it with mango purée last night and added an extra teaspoon of gelatin to compensate for the extra liquid in the mango (which replaces the chocolate). Unfortunately I didn't have any coconut milk so had to use evaporated again.  It still tastes really yummy but needs even more gelatin as it wasn't quite set enough, it was quite 'mousse-y'.  I'm guessing even as much as 5 teaspoons perhaps! Because I used 350g puréed mango... I haven't much experience with gelatin but happy to experiment and eat my errors. I love the texture of the chocolate one, so silky... would love to replicate that with the mango and then even try other ones like strawberry or even banana! And sago would add another dimension ...

Please post all your recipes. They sound wonderful. I can just imagine it with strawberries or banana.

Kulsha, yummo.  Keep trying.

  yes keep trying

Ahhh it seems that fresh mango has an enzyme in it that breaks down the gelatin so it won't set (similar to kiwi fruit and pineapple)... This probably explains why my pudding tonight was more like a frothy thick drink...   Canned mango will apparently work because the heating process of canning kills the enzyme, but my frozen mango still had active enzymes even after being frozen solid for a couple months?  I googled a bit and found a recipe for mango jelly using fresh mango that was boiled for half an hour beforehand...(must be to kill enzymes) The other jelly recipes I have found that are not boiled have mango as the minor ingredient in a smaller quantity. Maybe first step in thermie is to purée and cook the fresh mango first, which I wonder how that will effect that lovely fresh mango taste though, and want to keep the recipe easy peazy without fluffing about with cooking... dilemma!   But I feel challenged now and will push forward with my experiments.

i knew about the pineapple and gelatin is a no no, so now i know about the mangos and  kiwi . thanks  Kulsha

Thank you for this beautiful dessert, Chookie.  I used milk choc, cadbury's and evaporated milk (not skinny, the local shop didn't have any) and it was lovely and smooth, but not toooooo rich.  I haven't had a lot of success with mousse style puddings over the years, either pre or post thermomix, so I'm thrilled to find this delicious, easy recipe.  It was the perfect finale to our early Easter family dinner.

LellyJ,  so glad you liked it.  It is my son's favorite.

I made this, it was a real hit. Unfortunately I didn't realise til after that when I added the gelatine with the mc off that I was splattering the very low ceiling.....
First thermy disaster....  But it was worth it.

Need to refine method.
Thx so much for lovely economical choc pud.
I am loving yr bread recipes too as I am a very keen bread baker. Have made all our bread for ages... Now learning to use Thermy too. Still use big kenwood for bigger batches.

Droverjess,  glad you like the recipes.  When I want a big lot of bread I do 2 lots,  one following the other.  With just 4/5 mins. Between the 2 , they are ready for the oven about the same time.  Have fun.
