Remove the bowl from the water and let the chocolate cool to room temperature. Coarsely chop the pecan pieces in a food processor. Remove 1/2 cup of the pecans and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar to the remaining nuts and grind to a fine powder. Combine the finely ground pecans, bread crumbs and cinnamon in a bowl; mix well and set the mixture aside. In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter with half the remaining sugar until soft and light. Beat in the cooled chocolate and then the bourbon. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating until smooth. Stir in the pecan bread crumb mixture. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they form very soft peaks. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar in a slow stream and continue beating until the egg whites hold soft peaks. Stir one-fourth of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Pour the batter into a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish or 8 inch square baking pan. Smooth the top. Scatter the reserved chopped pecans evenly over the surface of the batter. Place the baking dish in a larger pan and pour hot tap water into the larger pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake the pudding in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pudding puffs and feels slightly firm when pressed with the palm of the hand; do not overbake. To serve, spoon the warm chocolate pecan pudding onto dessert plates. Ladle 2 or 3 tablespoons of the Bourbon Sauce over. Pass the reamaining sauce separately. Bourbon Sauce: -------------- 1 1/2 cups milk 1/3 cup sugar 4 egg yolks 2 tblsp bourbon 1 tsp vanilla extract Instructions: ------------- In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl until liquified. When the milk boils, gradually whisk 1/3 of it into the yolks. Return the remaining milk to a boil over low heat and whisk in the yolk mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; do not let boil.

(It will not beat up well if it is at room temperature) Measure out the gelatine carefully. Add the milk. Stir well, then leave to stand for 5 minutes. In a medium sized saucepan mix the cocoa, sugar and water. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the softened gelatine. Stir until the gelatine has completely dissolved. Stand the chocolate mixture in cold water to cool but DO NOT let it set. Beat the evaporated milk until very thick. Add the cooled chocolate mixture gradually, then; (a) Turn into one large dish to set. (b) Spoon into individual dishes. (c) Spoon mixture into glasses or individual dishes alternately with spoonfuls of whipped cream and/or raspberries or stewed peaches. (d) Spoon into a mould that has been wiped with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Leave to set. Colour darkens and flavour becomes more marked if pudding is left for several hours. To unmould, loosen edges with fingers, then loosen one side and turn onto a dampened plate. DO NOT stand the mould in warm water unless all else fails. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: belville@athena.mit.edu (Sharon Belville) DOT'S BANANA PUDDING ==================== Ingredients: ------------ 3 small boxes instant vanilla pudding mix 5 cups cold milk 12 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip) 8 oz sour cream 1 large box vanilla wafers 5-6 large bananas.

Mix the flour, sugar (1 cup only) baking powder and milk/water together. Pour on top of the melted margarine. DO NOT MIX! Pour the cherries with the syrup over the flour/milk mixture. DO NOT MIX! Sprinkle the 1/2 cup suger over the entire mess, and bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour. This can be served either hot or cold. If served hot, ice-cream would definately not detract from this dish. Variations: ----------- Basically any kind of canned fruit can be used. I've made plum pudding (a la Little Jack Horner), pineapple pudding, whatever come to mind and off the shelf. Just remember that if the fruit has pits, to remove them. I tried this once with fresh fruit, and it just didn't work. This is one of those dishes meant for canned fruit. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: apa@napcc-hp.cvm.uiuc.edu (Aida P.

(the rest of the fruit will not be used in this recipe) Combine peel, milk, 3/4 cup sugar and salt in a large pan. Bring it to a boil and cook gently until it is reduced to 3 cups. (stir occasionally to break the film that forms on the surface) When done, strain and cool slightly. In the meantime, heat 3/4 cup sugar in a skillet over medium heat until sugar begins to melt. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally. When sugar is melted and brown, immediately spoon over bottom and sides of a shallow 1-1/2 quart baking dish and cool. Begin preheating oven to 325 F. Beat eggs into a large bowl. Gradually add warm milk mixture to eggs and beat well. Then, pour the mixture into the baking dish containing the caramelized sugar. Place the baking dish into a pan and pour water into the pan until it reaches half way up the sides of the baking dish. Bake about 1-1/2 hours or until a knife inserted off-center comes out clean. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent excess browning. Remove dish from hot water and cool. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Stir in milk and shortening. Spread in a 9x9" pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa. Pour hot water over all. Bake 45 minutes at 350.

Next day, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften. Cut marshmallows into quarters and add to the cherries. Transfer the ice cream into a large mixing bowl. Stir through all the remaining ingredients plus sufficeint reserved cherry liquid to colour the ice cream a pretty pale pink (add a few drops of pink colour if necessary).

HIMES) RICE PUDDING ============ I am a big rice pudding fan, and this one has served me well (in fact, it will serve me when I get back home tonight). It is fairly custardy, so beware. Ingredients: ------------ ca. 3/4 cup cooked rice (try not to have any water left in) 2 cup milk 2 eggs (or 4 egg yolks, if your cholesterol is too low) 1/2 cup sugar (I regularly use much less) 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp salt Instructions: ------------- Put all of this into an ungreased casserole, which you can than throw into a 325 degree oven for about 55 minutes, or until the old knife-inserted-into-the-center-comes-out-clean trick works. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: thuy@wam.umd.edu (Thu.y Huu Nguyen) Author: Chef Lynn Bryant RODGROT MED FLOTE ================= (Norwegian Berry Pudding with Cream) Ingredients: ------------ 1 1/2 pounds fresh raspberries, strawberries, or a combination 2 cups water 1/2 cup sugar 3 tblsp cornstarch 1 pint light cream Slivered almonds Instructions: ------------- Wash and drain berries (or defrost and save liquid).

Sass STEAMED CRANBERRY PUDDING ========================= Ingredients: ------------ 1/2 tsp oil and 2 tsp flour for preparing a 1-quart bundt pan or heatproof casserole 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 cup unbleached white flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp finely minced or grated orange zest (organic, if possible) 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/8 tsp sea salt 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh or frozen (and defrosted) cranberries 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup maple syrup Boiling water Instructions: ------------- 1.) Pick out a pot to use as the steamer. Make sure that your bundt pan or casserole will comfortably fit inside. About 1/2 to 1 inch clearance on the sides is helpful. 2.) Oil and flour the bundt pan. 3.) In a bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, salt, cranberries, and walnuts. In a measuring cup, combine the orange juice and maple syrup. Stir the liquid into the dry ingredients just until all of the flour is absorbed. 4.) Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Wrap tightly with two sheets of aluminum foil crisscrossed on the top. Make sure the seal is tight. 5.) Place a rack or trivet in the bottom of the cooker. Lower the pudding into the cooker with the aid of a foil strip. Another method: put the bundt pan into a string bag and lower into the pot. Keep the handles on the top for easy removal. Add enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the pot. 6.) Steam until the pudding is set, about 75 to 90 minutes. 7.) Remove the bundt pan from the cooker. Remove the top foil, and run a knife around the edges. Then turn pan over onto a platter and unmold. Or just serve in spoonfuls. 8.) Serve warm. Presure cooker variation: ------------------------- Put the pudding in the cooker as above. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to come down naturally for 15 minutes. Remove the lid safely. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) SUMMER PUDDING ============== Ingredients: ------------ 10 to 14 slices firm-textured white sandwich bread, crusts trimmed 4 cups raspberries, rinsed drained 4 cups red currants, stemmed and washed (the recipe suggests substituting other berries such as blackberries, blueberries, loganberries, etc in any combination if currants and/or raspberries are unavailable) 1 cup sugar 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup confectioner's (icing) sugar Instructions: ------------- Line the bottom and sides of a 2 quart mixing bowl, souffle dish, pudding basin or other round mold with the bread slices, overlapping the pieces slightly. (You may wish to cut the bread slices in half for a more decorative effect). Reserve enough bread to cover the top of the pudding. In a heavy nonreactive saucepan, combine the raspberries, currants and sugar with 1 tablespoon of water. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Pour the fruit mixture into the bread-lined mold and cover completely with the reserved bread slices. Cover the top of the pudding with a plate taht fits snugly within the top of the mold, and weigh down the plate with a heavy can or water in a covered plastic container. Refrigerate overnight. To serve, unmold the pudding onto a serving platter. Hm, this recipe says to beat the cream and serve the pudding with that. I'd serve it with a pouring custard, myself. Or don't beat the cream and just pour over (that sounds better). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: altar@beaufort.sfu.ca (Ted Wayn Altar) Source: Manitoba Animal Alliance (MAA), Canada, COMPASSIONATE BAKING desert cookbook THE ULTIMATE VEGAN CHRISTMAS PUDDING ==================================== Soak overnight: --------------- 1 cup raisins 1 cup sherry Other Ingredients: ------------------ 1 cup margarine 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 4 heaping tsp flax seed egg replacer or commercial egg replacer equal to 4 eggs 2 cups chopped dates 3/2 cups grated carrots 3/2 cups chopped pecans 1 cup breadcrumbs 1 cup soymilk 1 cup soymilk 1 cup currants 1/4 cup molasses 1 tblsp grated orange peel 1 tblsp grated lemon peel 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cloves 1/2 nutmeg 1/2 mace Instructions: ------------- Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl.

Microwave this at high for 8-9 minutes, stirring every 2 min until the stuff is smooth and thickened. Meanwhile, put 3 egg yolks (or two whole eggs) into another bowl and beat them slightly. Quickly stir half of the hot milk mixture into eggs, and then add the new egg mixture to the origianl milk mixture. Microwave at high 1 to 2 min until mixture is thick and glossy. Add: ---- 1 tblsp butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp almond extract (optionally, for extra flavor) Let cream cool before adding to cupcakes or creampuffs... If you're eating it by itself, it's great while it's still warm. Note: ----- This is my mom's cream-puff cream. It's just a sweet, vanilla cornstarch pudding. I'm giving you the microwave recipe, because otherwise it takes an eternity of stirring on the stove, after which your arm will fall off. If you choose to cook it that way, make sure you keep the heat low while you're waiting for the stuff to thicken, and never ever stop stirring, or the cream will stick to the bottom and burn and then you will have a million nasty little brownish-black flecks throughout your pudding, which will do absolutely nothing for the texture. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
