We had company tonight. While the adults sipped their coffee, I made this chocolate espresso pudding recipe. My daughter and her friends were on the other side of the kitchen, peeling and chopping fruits. Each of them decorated their bowls, while I stirred the pudding.
Some of you may already know these interesting nutritional facts about chocolate milk. Make sure you know how good chocolate milk can be.
Flavored milk contains the same nine essential nutrients as white milk and is a healthful alternative to soft drinks.
Milk drinkers, in general, consume more calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and vitamin A than non-milk drinkers.
Flavored milk drinkers have lower intakes of soft drinks compared to those who do not drink flavored milk.
My teen is now fascinated by the process of how one or two different ingredients make her favorite chocolate milk into a new experience.

I’m on the lookout for acrylic martini glasses – a twist of orange on the edge is always so cute!
This week I had impatient assistants, so we used bowls (moms always have to get creative, right?)
Okay that looks really really good!! And serving it in a martini glass would make it such a cool dessert if you have a dinner party!! WOO
Anything with chocolate makes my mouth water. This sounds good!

I’m not an espresso fan but I think hubby would love this. I like the idea of martini glass and fresh fruit though!
Sounds great…if only I liked coffee flavors!
I like the idea of decorating it with fresh fruit.
I think the fruit is a great idea, I would try it with strawberries.
Too bad I don’t like espresso, looks like a yummy pudding otherwise.

That looks absolutely mouth watering!
I’m not an espresso fan, but I think my in-laws would really enjoy this.

This looks very good, much better than the packaged stuff. I like the addition of the orange zest to make it more grown up.
That’s two of my favorite things–chocolate and espresso! I have made homemade pudding before but never thought to use chocolate milk. Thanks for the recipe, will be trying this soon!
