I once was served a restaurant dessert called "Country Chocolate Pudding." It was warm and creamy, but firm enough to hold its own shape on the dish. I've looked and looked for a recipe for something like this, but never found it. Any ideas?

Take a look at Clark's article, Julie - it might have been a pot de crème like she talks about here, or a warm mousse.

Thanks, Faith. No, it definitely wasn't a pot de creme or a mousse -- this was sturdier stuff. It definitely had some kind of starch component... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
