I remember this  as being my brother Brian’s favorite dessert, and now my husband & son love it too . the only difference is that now i make it with fresh ingredients where as growing up we only used the chocolate pudding powder mix in the package.It was good , no one complained, but this is better ! This is something that you can find in our refrigerator quite often. It satisfies a chocolate fix or sweet tooth !

There are only 155 calories per serving where as a true French chocolate cream has 488 per portion because of the heavy cream and eggs.So indulge! K
