1
) Stir equal parts of milk and egg together, and sieve.
2) Pour into a cup (around 3/5 filled), and prepare a saucepan of boilling water.
3) Put the cup into the saucepan, cover for 15 min with the fire turned off.
4) Before serving, spoon chilled chocolate pudding till 4/5 of the cup is filled.

Remarks:
It started out as an attempt to clear the half an egg that I've taken for almond-stuffed peaches. I poured milk into the egg and then conveniently left it in the boiling water that was used to cook hard boiled eggs meant for tuna sandwich filling. After which I opened the fridge, saw the dainty little glass of chocolate pudding that I've made the day before, and an idea struck me! Tah-dah! Here's the resultant output:

Want a spoonful?

As the egg custard was relatively bland (no condiments, sugar or whatsoever), the chocolate pudding complemented it well with its sweet thick chocolatey taste. The contrast in temperature between the two offered a interesting twist - it felt so much like the inverse of Macdonald's hot fudge sundae without the guilt! Very good!
