CHOCOLATE PUDDING TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare the chocolate cake as recommended above.
• To prepare the chocolate pudding filling: In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the instant pudding and the milk for 3 minutes. Place uncovered in the refrigerator and chill until set, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
• To assemble the trifle: Place 1/3 of the cake in the bottom of a large glass bowl. Place over this 1/3 of the pudding mixture, spreading evenly with a rubber spatula. Spread 1/3 of the whipped cream over this. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cookie crumbs. Proceed in this fashion until three layers have been assembled, ending with a dusting of the cookie crumbs. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight, before cutting and serving.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE

• Bake 10 minute Cool completely.
• To make the filling: in medium bowl, combine milk and pudding, stirring until thickened. Stir in sour cream just until blended. Pour into crust. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours until set.

LAYERED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE PUDDING TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare a large glass trifle bowl or a large glass serving bowl.
• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Prepare the browninie mix according to package directions.
• Bake in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan until brownies test done.
• Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until completely cold.
• When the brownies are cold cut into about 2-1/2-inch squares.
• Prepare chocolate and cream cheese pudding separately in two bowls using 2-3/4 cups milk for each.
• Line the bottom of the trifle bowl with HALF of the brownie cubes.
• Pour the prepared chocolate pudding over the brownies then sprinkle with 1/3 of the crushed cookies.
• Cover with one 8-ounce container of the Cool Whip topping.
• Layer the remaining brownie cubes over the Cool Whip, then pour the cream cheese pudding over the Cool Whip.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the crushed cookies over the cream cheese pudding, then top with the second 8-ounce container of Cool whip topping.
• Sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies over the Cool Whip.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.

RICH CHOCOLATE PUDDING / CREAM PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 cups milk; heat until it's just about to boil.
• While the milk/sugar is heating, combine the remaining ingredients (egg yolks, sugar, 1/4 c flour, cocoa, salt, 1/4 c milk) EXCEPT for butter and vanilla in a blender or mixer on low. The goal is to mix it absolutely smoothly without lumps, not add a bunch of air to it.
• Combine the two mixes and return to the saucepan.
• Adjust the heat to medium high and bring to a boil for five minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. (NOTE: It never takes me five minutes to get to this point.).
• Remove from heat; immediately stir in 2 Tablespoons butter or margarine and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Pour into (cooked) pie crust or pudding dishes and refrigerate.
• Note: if you're using this for a pie, a beautiful meringue can easily be made with the three egg whites you'll have left over from this recipe. I'd suggest looking up #28458 and referring to those directions for how to create it -- remember to leave your crust with about ten minutes left to bake so that you don't burn it while toasting the meringue.
