As I mentioned on the previous page, the key to
cooking with chocolate is precision. Make sure to measure it carefully, and use only clean, dry cooking utensils. |

Classic Fudge
|
|
This is the official fudge recipe of our
family, perfected by my Great-Grandmother Louella. It's rich, so don't eat too much at once. |

Family Favorite Fudge
|
|
This fudge was a hit with my dad's family
when I sent it to a gathering--I got three telephone calls asking for the recipe. (I found this on the back of
a bag of marshmallows.) |

Whipped Chocolate Icing
|
|
Another family recipe, this one would
do best on a light-textured cake. Give a store-bought angel food cake a professional yet personal touch by icing
it with this frosting. |

Chocolate-Banana Layered Dessert
This "Natasha Original"
got rave reviews from family and co-workers.
 |
Ingredients:
- About 25 Nilla® chocolate wafers
- 1 small box instant vanilla pudding,
prepared as directed on package
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- 2 medium bananas, sliced
- Hot fudge topping
|
 |
Line a shallow 1-quart baking dish with
wafers. Evenly spread pudding over the top of the wafers. Cover and refrigerate until pudding sets, at least
1 hour. |
 |
Right before serving, spread Cool Whip
over the pudding. Top with bananas. Drizzle with hot fudge topping. |
 |
Tips & suggestions:
- I don't suggest using canned pudding
for this recipe because of the taste.
- The first time I made this dessert,
I used regular vanilla wafers, homemade chocolate pudding, and omitted the hot fudge topping.
- If you are concerned about calories
and fat, all of this recipe's ingredients (except bananas) come in either a reduced-fat or sugar-free variety which
is just as tasty.
