Ingredients:





     3    Squares unsweetened


          -chocolate, chopped up


 2 1/2 c  Cold milk


 1 1/3 c  Sugar


   1/2 c  Flour


   1/2 ts Salt


     2 tb Butter


     3    Egg yolks; well beaten


     1 ts Vanilla






 Add chopped up chocolate to the milk in a double boiler and heat to melt.


 Beat until blended. Sift sugar, flour and salt together and add a small


 amount of the hot chocolate to it and stir. Now pour this mixture into the


 double boiler with the rest of the hot chocolate and stir. Add 2 T. butter


 to this and cook with constant stirring for 10 mins. longer. Pour a small


 amount of this cooked mixture over the well beaten egg yolks while stirring


 vigorously to keep from cooking the eggs and immediately pour this back


 into double boiler and stir and cook until thick. Watch carefully. When


 starting to thicken, remove from heat and add the vanilla and stir. Cool in


 a baked pie shell for pie or in 6-8 pyrex cups for pudding, This method of


 pouring back and forth with stirring helps prevent lumps from forming.


 MERINGUE: 3 egg whites beaten with 6 T. sugar if wanted on pie. I prefer it


 plain with maybe a little vanilla ice cream on the side. Very rich and


 yummy!


 


 Serving Ideas : As pudding, serve with milk. As pie, with small ice cream.


 


 NOTES : This is really a pie filling, but makes the absolutely BEST


 chocolate pudding imaginable when allowed to set up in 8 pyrex custard


 cups.
