My last week. Ahh..also, two color pudding recipe :)


It was a busy week. I worked 11 hours a day, got natural gas for my apartment, helped Aria for 5 tests in whole week.. Turkish test is the hardest one for him, especially writing and understanding  and also mixed feelings...I really need to see an eye doctor for reading glasses. Yeah!
It's the age. My eyes need glasses to read but my soul still feels 30 :)

You know guys, spending some time in kitchen makes me feel relax.
This delicious pumpkin-chocolate pudding is like a pumpkin pie with the graham craker crumbs. Enjoy it with a lot of fat free-whipped cream on top :D

Ingredients

for pumpkin pudding
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoon corn starch
2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pumpkin puree 
 
for Chocolate pudding
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoon corn starch
2 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cacao powder

 
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, pumpkin puree.. gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2_3 minutes. Remove from the heat. To combine the eggs with the boiled mixture,  use a measuring cup and take almost a cup and slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs. Then you can add this to the remaining milk mixture. Just keep whisking. Add vanilla and pumpkin spice. Return to stove and bring to boil for a few minutes.
 
Do the same process with the chocolate pudding using cacao instead of pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice.
 
To crush the crackers into crumbs;
Put the crakers in a zipped storage bag, remove the air and let your kids smash it with their fist!
Aria enjoyed doing it :) I think it's great getting kids involved in anything to do with cooking!
Arrange the cracker crumbs on bottom.  Using a spoon, layer both puddings and chill until serving. Garnish with whip cream.

  2. Pumpkin Chocolate Pudding sounds really good!!! Spending time in the kitchen isn't always relaxing for me, but sometimes it is.
    I hope this week is a little bit slower than last week. It's always nice to have a rest from being so busy. =0)

  8. When you cook and bake all these delicious treats, I hope everyone appreciates it. I certainly would, though my pants would not. :)

    The pumpkin/graham cracker pudding does sound similar to the one I'd told you about!

    By the way, I like the video of Aria learning the Michael Jackson song.

    You mentioned his Turkish test. What languages do you all speak and what is the main language used at his school?

  11. Another amazing looking dessert!

    I too had to break down and get glasses, but for me, they are for driving. The good news, glasses can be quite cute and fashionable :)

  13. Yum, I would have not thought to combine chocolate and pumpkin but that sounds great. I love pudding, and come to think of it, it's been ages since I've had it.
