- 2 packets dream whip and enough milk required to make 2 cups of whipped cream
- 1/2 cup powdered cocoa
- cup strong black coffee
- 2 cups shaved chocolate or chocolate chips

how to:
- pour coffee in shallow bowl, dip each lady finger and arrange it in a single layer on an 8x8 pan
- pour half of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with shaved chocolate or chips
- lay down another layer of coffee dipped lady fingers
- pour the remaining cup of whipped cream and top with remaining chocolate
- with a small sieve, dust cocoa powder all over the cake
- refrigerate until ready to serve

loaf-ing around

I had forgotten about a quarter loaf of bread I bought a couple of days before and thought of making chocolate bread pudding before the molds kick in. I searched for a suitable recipe that does not require too much igredients as I don't feel like going to the grocery, I came across a ham and cheese bread pudding which I decided to make so I'd have something for breakfast. Ham and Cheese Bread Pudding ingredients: - 4 slices of bread - 1 egg - 1 cup of milk - 1/2 cup of cooked cubed ham - 1/2 cup cubed cheese - salt and pepper how to: - cut the slices of bread into cubes, place in a big bowl and combine with the ham and cheese - beat the egg and mix in half of the milk. - pour milk mixture into the bread and mix until moistened, add more milk gradually if needed - season with salt and pepper - bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees or until edges are browned and center in spongy easy breakfast!
