Im actually not a big sweets type person, but I have this small place in my heart all things creamy, Puddings, Creme Brulee , panna cotta, If its made with milk and not covered in sugar Im all over it. Puddings, a sweet favourite of mine is pistachio, Light green in colour and with amazing intoxicating smell. I found a small package of this pudding in a import shop here and bought it not caring what I would do with it. Having been making a ton of frosting i was getting tired of Buttercream. I decided I would use pudding mix and make a whipped cream/pudding mix. The cake could have been anything but Im fussy enough to hate doing plain old vanilla. Chocolate chip, was perfect, nothing to over powering and yet added just perfect amount of sweetness.
