Notes
- Nutritional information is provided for guidance only and is not a strict calculation as ingredients vary.
- Chocolate pudding will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If storing over night then cover the dishes with food-safe wrap.
- For a mint or almond chocolate pudding variation replace the vanilla with a few drops of peppermint or almond extract or essence and add more to taste.
- These little puddings can be topped with your choice of fresh or frozen berries, fresh fruit, whipped cream, ice-cream or yogurt, crushed or flaked nuts, desiccated coconut, chocolate shards or grated chocolate, chocolates buttons, etc.
- For extra chocolate flavours add some melted chocolate to the food processor or blender before processing. We like a nice dark dairy-free chocolate.
- For a special dessert a crisp Scottish shortbread biscuit is a nice accompaniment along with some juicy strawberries.
