Chocolate Sauce Pudding
Chocolate Sauce (No Cream) Pudding
This post is part of the the Sweet Adventure’s Blog Hop that I have taken part in each month since January this year. The theme for this month is “Feeling Saucey?”and it is hosted by The Kitchen Crusader. This one I left until the very last minute, which is very unlike me. I like to ponder a recipe and various ideas for a little while before I settle on what I would like to make. Then I like to try it a number of times before publishing it. The Sweet Adventure’s Series usually has me making something out of my comfort zone.
This one is different, this one is my kind of cooking. It is quick and easy to make. The ingredients were all on hand in my pantry. My boys quickly demolished it, giving it the family tick of approval, after last nights Dumpling Sunday dinner. I used coconut cream instead of cream so that I could eat some too. I like this recipe as I can moderate the amount of chocolate sauce for the kids. You can add a drizzle or you can pour it on. At the end of a busy day and weekend it was a drizzle for my children and Mr Fresh and I were more generous with our sauce serving.
This is my Saucy recipe: It is an easy, plain, simple family recipe. The pudding is like a fluffy cake. The chocolate sauce is thick and gooey, rich and darkly decadant.

Chocolate sauce with coconut cream?? I’m sold!!
Mmm what a great looking dessert. Coconut and chocolate do go so well together 🙂
Oh crivens, this looks fantastic… and I am doing a bit of a no milk experiment for a couple of weeks so it would suit me. I do love coconut. Clipping to Evernote!
Lovely! That sauce looks lovely and very easy. I think I’ll make it to smother over some cake or pudding! OR maybe just my fruit salad 🙂
Wow – how interesting. I’m experimenting with coconut at the moment and this is another recipe to add to my list. Cheers!
Pudding is one of my favourite things in the world, and any pudding containing coconut cream and chocolate has my vote! I’m going to try a gluten-free version of this one. Thanks for sharing.
I am a great fan of coconut and I love that you have combined it with chocolate… delicious!
