Dark Chocolate Pudding (REC00011) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
I realized when I was looking at this recipe that I had never made pudding before from scratch. Jello? Sure. Other pre-mixes? Sure. But fresh from the ingredients? Nope. This one is very tasty without overwhelming, but you still have to consume it in small batches. Super easy, no prep. Just put the ingredients in the pot.
