If I say "Halloween" what colors come to your mind?
Black, like the darkness of the night, the cloak of bats and the nails of evil witches.
Orange, like pumpkins and like torches that burn in the dark of night.
So, I thought I'd pay homage to the party of witches, sorcerers and ghosts with a good two-tone pudding and while we're at it, let's decorate the puddings with cobwebs and worms!

Preparation
This dessert is made up of layers of black pudding alternating with layers of orange pudding. For the realization, it is advisable to prepare the puddings at the same time, so as to distribute them in glasses or bowls at the same temperature. In any case, all the phases for the realization of each single pudding are described below.
- Prepare the BLACK CHOCOLATE PUDDING. Heat almost all the milk (about 200 ml) in a saucepan together with the sugar and the black charcoals (optional). Meanwhile, chop the dark chocolate coarsely and add it to the hot milk.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining cold milk (50 ml), and add it to the chocolate mixture, continuing to mix with the whisk, maintaining a gentle flame.
- Once thickened, distribute the pudding in the glasses, filling each one up to halfway.
- Now prepare the ORANGE PUDDING. In a saucepan, heat 200 ml of milk with the sugar, turmeric and orange charcoal. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining cold milk and add it to the mixture together with the vanilla flavor.
- Spread the orange pudding over the black pudding until the glasses are full.
The right idea
Those who wish can also prepare a 4-layer pudding, alternating the colors black-orange-black-orange.- Allow the puddings to cool to room temperature.
- To prepare the cobweb on top of the puddings, make a glaze by dissolving sifted cocoa and icing sugar in about 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the icing into a parchment paper croissant or into a disposable pastry bag and create a spiral on the surface of the puddings.
- At this point, with a toothpick or a wooden stick, trace some rays starting from the center of the spiral. Repeat the design in the middle of each segment obtained, starting however from the outer edge towards the center.
- Serve the pudding glasses with worm-shaped gummy candies.
