If you are really into big “Valentine Day” celebrations but don't have enough time to pamper your better half by making an elaborate dessert, this chocolate pudding is bound to be your fall back recipe as it takes just 5-7 mins to cook up this yummy dessert.
Honestly I personally feel that the Valentine Day is too much hyped up now-a-days. Everything looks way too commercialized, advertised & cheesy.
Seriously do you really need a particular day to convey your love and affection and make the other person feel special.
To me, love is a lifetime of work in progress that you can just never get any better as there will always be a moment in future that will be even more better and perfect provided you keep working at it.
As my Mom’s neighbour is a Christian, every Sunday, lunch used to be a very big affair. She used to make this pudding in the morning and leave it in the fridge before heading out to Church and after lunch, this will be the dessert.
Many a Sunday afternoons have been spent licking away this yummy, chocolaty dessert and I thought this will be just perfect for the occasion.
Points to note while making this pudding:
You can also use the same quantity of corn flour (corn starch) instead of custard powder but make sure that you also add vanilla extract for flavor.
Rinsing the bowls with water ensures that the pudding does not stick to the bowl.
I used 2% milk, but you can also use full cream whole milk.
Adjust the quantity of the sugar according to your taste.

Radhika -You have a lovely blog and this delicious dessert is 'easy-peasy'!
Thanks!
Having said that I must CONGRATULATE YOU for having declared 'the emperor is naked'!
Your very honest wisdom statement regarding the 'exaggerated and overblown' celebration of Valentine's day is so comforting to my heart and soul.
You are much younger than me and I used to keep on wondering as to whether I was 'undervaluing the overdoing' of this 'foreign' Valentine's Day celebration.
(We all know this is all commercial exploitation)
Love needs no special day for celebration.
Love is sacred and special everyday,every moment and every second!
We do not need Mother's Day,Father's Day etc. in our land for at the core of our traditions it is MatriDevo Bhava,PitraDevo Bhava and AcharyaDevo Bhava!
This is what we have to remind our children of!
In our land we celebrate each day.
We have to return home.
Just casting an eye on the Hindu calendar one will see how our sages kept us on the spiritual trail!
My real admiration for your courage to have uttered the unutterable!
Perfectly made
Lovely recipe for the day of love. Thanks for sharing.
