CHOCOLATE AND WALNUT PUDDING
A handwritten recipe I just found, which I wrote down 30 years ago! I don't remember the pudding (an English pudding is like a cake)but it obviously made a very big impression on me. I didn't often write out recipes when I was about 10 :-) I plan to make this soon.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pudding will taste. Look for fresh, ripe fruit, and high-quality chocolate and nuts.
- Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be dry and crumbly. Cook it just until it is set, then remove it from the heat.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
- Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.
