Chocolate Pudding
I love the fact that my family is waiting for me to
unveil the desserts these days!

Normally I do not make desserts. I live with a family of picky eaters (who
does not) but my elder one, Apeksha
does not eat sweets, younger one, Akanksha is not predictable, dairy
milk and she is happy, hubby avoids them and FIL is diabetic. It’s too much
trouble for the one person left …me!

came to my rescue, she tasted it and relished it,” Mamma it’s delicious! Pint size does not like it as it is not sweet
enough for her. Top it up please.”
