# Top Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the creamy chocolate satisfaction without the post-dessert energy crash
  • The pudding practically makes itself while you go about your evening
  • It somehow manages to feel indulgent while being secretly nutritious
02 -
  • The pudding continues thickening in the fridge so do not panic if it looks slightly thin initially
  • Using a blender creates the silkiest texture but whisking by hand works perfectly well
  • Avoid oversweetening as the flavors concentrate during chilling
03 -
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help everything incorporate smoothly
  • Let the pudding sit at room temperature for ten minutes before serving for the best texture
