Howdy chocolate fan!  Or are you strictly a Nutella fan?  I once gained 20 pounds on Nutella in one summer.  Yes, siree, I'm proud of that fact.  Did it in Europe! Eating my way through a jar of Nutella and a bagette was where it's at, don't you know?

The recipe is easy, just make sure you don't take too many dips into the Nutella jar so you'll have enough for the recipe :)

Nutella Pudding:

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/3 cup cocoa, unsweetened
• pinch of salt
• 2 1/2 cups evaporated milk
• 3/4 cup Nutella spread
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• whipped cream, optional

1. Whisk cornstarch, cocoa and salt in heavy saucepan.  Slowly whisk in the milk. Turn heat to medium and cook, stir frequently, until mixture thickens, about 8 min.

2. Remove from heat and whisk in Nutella, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Divide among 6 ramekins.  

Serve warm or cold, with a dollop of whip cream is best.  Will keep in fridge for 3 days covered with plastic wrap.
