We had friends over for dinner tonight and I decided to make chocolate pudding from scratch. When I pulled it out of the fridge after dinner (it had been in there for four or five hours) it was liquid. I kind of lost track of how long I heated it when I was making it--could that be why it didn't thicken? It tasted good...we just had to sip it.  |

I have no idea what went wrong but it wouldn't bother me a bit to drink a cup of pudding. I love pudding!  |

Yes, it won't set up if you don't cook it enough. I cook it for one minute after it starts bubbling like the "paint pots" at Yellowstone, and coats the spoon. You have to stir constantly so it doesn't burn. And cook on low heat.
I learned the hard way.

I had to open this thread just to find out what kind of chocolate pudding needs to 'set'.  Here, a chocolate pudding is an oven-baked dessert that is like a chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and serve hot straight out of the oven. |

I may just have had to nuke it to make it warm liquid chocolate if I had been you.  Signed, Someone who buys the pudding box to make pudding. |

You have to stir constantly so it doesn't burn. And cook on low heat. I learned the hard way. Okay, my recipe was extremely unclear on this point. It just said to heat for five minutes, till the sugar dissolved and bubbles formed around the edge. That's not "paint pot" bubbling! (Which I've seen, and that's a very helpful image!) |

So what do you call what we call pudding? Custard? |

So what do you call what we call pudding? Custard? Custard usually refers to a pouring sweet sauce to accompany a "cake" type pudding or an apple tart type pudding. We have individual names for a blancmange type Pudding( which is what I think your " pudding" is like ) we just call it exactly what it is...blancmange, creme caramel, chocolate dessert, Panna cotta etc. We use the word pudding and dessert to describe what is usually served after your main meal...dessert is more of a " classy" word to describe a pudding. Then you also hear some refer to it as a "sweet" not to be confused with candy which we call sweets If you're ever in England don't ask for a pudding on it's own because you won't know what you'll receive! I would think it's similar in Australia as far as the word custard and puddings go. Try Jamie Oliver's chocolate pudding or Delhia Smiths Chocolate bread and butter pudding then you'll know what a real chocolate "pudding" is like |

I make a chocolate pudding pie and every once in a while it won't set either. Usually it is because I didn't use fresh baking powder. Usually at that point, I pour it in a mason jar and use it as chocolate syrup.  This is similar to AussieMeg 's pudding and it is SO good and easy. I made it all the time for the boys-it was one of their favorites. The younger boy asked for it for his birthday last year. Well, I am not totally sure that the pin is showing up. It's weird, it says it will be there, but it isn't on the thread. Here's the link just in case... chocolate deliciousness |

Sorry, I'm late back to this thread...... I think that is a great idea. PLurker you can bring me a square baker in tangerine (I think the chocolate pudding would look good in that colour dish). leftturnonly , MichyM - and I need 2 more volunteers please - can bring me 2 medium bowls each in the following colours: lemongrass, lapis, tangerine and sunflower. Please and thank-you. So what do you call what we call pudding? Custard? I'm not sure. It could be similar to chocolate custard, but custard does not set, it stays runny. When I google pictures, it looks exactly like chocolate mousse. I think Dotty could be right, if it's not chocolate mousse it might be what we call blancmange. We use the word pudding and dessert to describe what is usually served after your main meal...dessert is more of a " classy" word to describe a pudding. Then you also hear some refer to it as a "sweet" not to be confused with candy which we call sweets ![:grin:]() If you're ever in England don't ask for a pudding on it's own because you won't know what you'll receive! I know, that cracks me up! Pudding = dessert in the UK and it could be actual pudding or any damn thing! ETA: Oh, and guess what I'm making for dessert tonight after all this talk?!?! |

Ok, I'm don't speak Fiestaware. Is it really that hard to get out there AussieMeg? And/or that expensive to have shipped? If so, I'm FINALLY taking the trip to Australia that I've been dreaming about in 2021 with several girlfriends to commemorate a big birthday for me. It is a several week cruise from the US to Australia with 3 weeks in the country, then fly back. We would all be happy bring what you need...if you still covet it by then  |

I priced it recently after reading another thread recently. Talk to me in 2020 before you come over and I'll let you know what I want! |

My family makes an egg custard - I believe it's an old English recipe - and it is not the same as American pudding. looks devine, but still not pudding. Sorry, but no cigar for you!

This is a dangerous thread for me----I am craaaaving chocolate pudding now! I was perusing Jamie Oliver's recipe, and I always get a kick out of learning new expressions from other countries : it says: 100 g butter , plus a small knob I've never heard that term before.....so cute Now I keep repeating that in my mind, in my best faux English accent ---"Ello love, I need a small KNOB of butta !" |

A knob of butter if fine which means a little extra but don't ever call anyone a knob in the UK. It's slang for obnoxious and considered rude and offensive |

Bring fiesta ware and sell it. Visit 2nd hand shops over there for clothes? Lol |

What other countries are fiesta challenged? Maybe I could become a jet setter after all? Lol
What ya'll really need is a Flight attendant on flights here to there to hook y'all up on a regular basis
Be a nice side job AND I don't think bringing fiesta ware in is illegal.

Egg custard tarts which you can eat cold. pouring custard sauce or you can use custard powder that is sold in containers called Bird's Custard powder and just add the milk and heat until thickened...which is what I do |

I had to make a vegan desert and got a recommendation to try chocolate tofu pudding. I had never made anything with tofu before (i had no clue what silken tofu was), and I loved it - the texture was so rich and creamy. I may have to go to the store and make some tonight! |

This thread is so funny, everyone trying to work out what OP's dessert would be in their country. For me it sounds like a custard or mousse and not a chocolate pudding which would be exactly like AussieMeg posted. Even though it is hot here, I am craving that now LOL, the perfect winter comfort food. Oh and I've never heard the term "set up" before, we would just say something didn't set. |
