Creamy Chocolate Polenta Recipe
[Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti]
This warm chocolatey pudding is eggless, creamy, and a snap to make if you use fine grain or instant polenta.
Notes: I purchased a fine grain polenta. It wasn't labeled as "instant" but cooked very quickly in about 3 minutes. Cooking time (and liquid amount needed) may differ depending on the polenta that you use. If polenta thickens before it is cooked, add a small amount of milk until polenta is finished cooking.
