cant find the recipe but google chocolate self saucing pudding.
it's basically a cake with a yummy gooey chocolate sauce that forms underneath. it's very easy to make (I've even mixed it in the pan) you mix the ingredients, pour into pan, sprinkle cocoa, brown sugar over it, pour hot water on top and bake. then keep it warm till the end of the meal. serve with vanilla icecream if you want.

Sure:

Milchig version.
Boil up a 100 g. package of lilquid whipping creme with two 300g bars of chocolate. Melt the chocolate in the creme.
Boil for two minutes.
Let cool. Refrigerate for a day or even freeze.
Whip. Freeze again.
make into round balls (it hardens) and dust with cocoa.
Put back in the freezer.
They are like frozen truffles and the kids will love them. You can use bitersweet chocolate as well.

Pareve version - use pareve chocolate and pareve whip and then freeze.

A zillion calories.

Another possibility is just to put the boiled liquidly creme and chocolate into the fridge for a day until it hardens a bit and then put over chocolate ice cream.
Yummy!

I have posted this recipe a number of times ( embarrassed

) but it's my all-time favorite... and I haven't found any other recipe that has topped this yet!

You can use ramekins instead of cupcake holders/ muffin tins- this recipe is very easy

Molten Chocolate Surprise

4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (I just use the same oz. of chocolate chips)
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup flour
12 CHIPS AHOY! Real Chocolate Chip Cookies (Lieber's makes great substitute- I think they're called Chip's Wow??- perfect size and texture)
Whipped Cream (garnish, I like vanilla ice cream instead)

PREHEAT oven to 425°F.

Melt chocolate and margarine in large pot. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Beat whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar and flour with wire whisk until well blended. Gradually add to chocolate mixture, beating constantly until well blended.

LINE 12 medium muffin cups with paper liners; spray with cooking spray. Place 1 cookie, upside-down, on bottom of each cup; cover evenly with batter.

BAKE 8 min. or until cakes are firm around edges but still soft in centers. Let stand 1 min. Carefully remove cakes from muffin pan. Invert onto dessert dishes (I do this right before serving instead of right after baking); remove paper liners. Serve with whipped topping.

REALLY SIMPLE FROZEN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE

One bowl needed!! No pots or pans!!

3/4 C Margarine MELTED
1 C. sugar
1/2 C Cocoa

beat those ingredients 2 minutes until it gets kinda separated. I use an electric hand whisk.

4 eggs - add them one at a time to the mixture and beat after each egg
1 teaspoon vanilla - add

beat about 5 minutes until the mousse gets lighter (it starts off very dark, and will visibly get darker) - continually scrape sides and bottom so nothing gets stuck.

then pour into pre-made graham cracker crust (keebler is parve) and freeze!

I whip up rich's whip the next day and take out the frozen mousse and spread it on top and then put back in freezer (if you don't wait until the pie is frozen first, it will get all messy)

when you serve it you don't need to let it sit out first. I drizzle the plate with black and white syrup before serving.

Whip up whip, instant chocolate pudding and creamer/soy milk, can add a bit of vanilla and pour into graham cracker crust.

Freeze or refrigerate for ice cream or chocolate pie. There was one point when we were making this every week.

Of course it doesn't compare to the more patchky stuff but its good.

I was too busy eating uncooked brownie batter to care for such rules Smile

lol that was my mother's rule so now I just don't even bother looking at recipes that call for raw eggs. I remember the day she came home looking like she won the lottery- She was at a health food store (maybe Trader Joe's?) and found 'pasteurized eggs.' I thought it was totally impossible and I have no idea how the science in those works... but that's when she started making some raw egg recipes. I never bothered to look for them though...

I have a super easy healthyish egg free chocolate mousse recipe

1 pkg silken tofu
one pkg chocolate chips (although tastes better if its good quality chocolate - about 10 oz. I think)
tsp. or so of vanilla
can add a splash of maple syrup

Blend tofu with immersion blender
melt chocolate chips in microwave or double boiler, be careful to cook just until smooth.
Add vanilla and melted chocolate chips to tofu and blend all together
Put in fridge.

Very yummy easy and no one will ever know its tofu (I promise no one has ever guessed)

To make it even nicer you can melt more chocolate and brush it onto silicone muffin cups and then refridgerate or freeze. Pop out the chocolate cups and scoop mousse or pipe (can fill a plastic bag and pipe using that) into the cups. Looks beautiful.

I think home-made mayo is healthier than the chemical-ridden store-bought, even tho it has raw eggs. It's the raw egg-white that's supposedly poisonous when eaten without the yolk.
and anyhow, did anyone here say that mousse is healthy?!

raw egg isnt poisonous. raw egg (as far as I knwo-either part) can contain salmonella. bad news

actually, raw egg-white does have small amounts of poison, which is counteracted by the yolk. another little-known wonder of ma'ase habriya.
re: salmonella, that's true, which is why anything prepared with raw eggs shouldn't be kept for as long as the store-bought version - IMO not more than a week.

I started buying those "pasteurized eggs" from Trader Joe's when we moved to NJ, had never been there before...I don't really use them in "raw egg" recipes, but I do use them in everything else...cakes, cookies, kugels...even if you don't really have to watch your cholesterol, it's an easy way to cut out cholesterol for the whole family...I was just at Trader Joe's today, I went there just to buy the eggs...I usually buy 5 or 6 at a time. They are also cheaper there than in the supermarket.
