Chosen by Garrett of Flavor of Vanilla. Since my first venture into making homemade pudding when the Chocolate Pudding last year I realized how much better it is than boxed pudding. We've made the Chocolate Pudding and Butterscotch Pudding and this pudding was a vanilla pudding with a layer of chocolate ganache underneath.
Making the pudding isn't difficult you just have to keep your eye on it because it can scorch easily. It was a pain to keep taking the pudding in and out of the mini-chopper/blender so next time I'll just use a little arm power and a whisk. 
In the 'Playing Around' section Dorie also gives directions for different pudding flavors instead of vanilla, one of them was coffee. Since I had a jar of instant espresso to use up our pudding became coffee flavored. 
The final product was delicious but I should have spread out the chocolate ganache a little better on the bottom of the cup. Tasty, tasty pudding! Thanks Garrett for the selection.

Love your photos! I made espresso too. I wish there'd been more ganache.
oooh this looks yummy!
It was espresso for me too! love your pudding cups
They look just fine to me. Love the little yellow cups.
I should have made the coffee version. It sounds delicious!
I agree, the food processor was a pain and I ended up using the whisk for the whole thing. Much easier that way, and it still turned out - I'd rather dirty one utensil than a big bunch of parts any day!
I'd go with more chocolate next time, too. Can't ever have enough. ;)
