A super quick chocolate dessert that tastes rich, delicious and even wholesome, and takes about 15 minutes to put together? There’s absolutely nothing in that sentence that doesn’t sound good. This pudding takes ingredients that you’re almost always likely to have in your home and can be put together in a matter of minutes. Whether it’s for guests you weren’t expecting till just a few hours ago or it’s to feed a desire for dessert that nothing shop-bought will satisfy, this no-bake, no-fuss dessert is perfect.
This recipe is a little bit retro and variations of it have probably been around for years, mothers whipping these up for pot-luck dinners, sunday lunches, summer vacation days where she might let you taste a spoonful of the divine, cool, chocolate cream as she puts the dish together. There is a deep, mellow chocolate flavor running through this dessert, with satiny-smooth cream making every bite a pleasure. Think of coming home, knowing this awaits you in your refrigerator for dessert later. Yum!
