How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition): 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food

Chocolate Pudding : page 950
I made this as I had bought some whole milk for another recipe I had intended to make and didn't get around to. I had doubled it up to use the milk. I used an extra ounce of chocolate because well I just love chocolate.
The pudding was creamy and delicious but since I was so worried about the milk scalding to my pan (and it did) I cooked it on lower temperatures and it took a lot longer than the recipe stated.
I think the next time I will try the version made with eggs.
On a side note my mother always uses half and half for her pudding and the dish still tastes rich and creamy with the whole milk with a lot less fat and calories!

Ricotta Cheesecake : page 916
I have tried ricotta cheesecake at Italian restaurants and always enjoyed the lighter, creamier taste as opposed to the heavy dense taste of a traditional cheesecake.
This recipe didn't disappoint. After reviewing a few other recipes I mixed the ricotta in my KA for several minutes to ensure that the ricotta was free of any grainy texture.
I didn't wrap my springform pan tight enough and the crust got a little soggy. If any one has any suggestions on a best way to do this please share!
I would make this again. I brought to my sister's to cap off an Italian dinner and all enjoyed.
