Chunky Chocolate Pudding

Chocolate pudding, to me, will always be dreamy. Something I will always be willing to spare some space for in my stomach even after a pretty heavy meal. This chunky version, the one I sifted through dozens and dozens just to get that oomph I’ve always been yearning for, is chocolaty but not too heavy, indulgent yet not overly rich.

Black Forest Pudding Cake

Black Forest and Black Forest cake (American English and Australian English) are the English names for the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, which literally means "Black Forest cherry torte". Hard to pronounce, but easy to make! Before I give you a recipe, let me share with you some fundamentals about Black Forest.

For the most part, Black Forest cake is composed of several layers of chocolate cake, with whipped cream and cherries between each layer. The cake is then decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries, as well as chocolate shavings. This recipe has the lusciousness of pudding to boot!

Typically, Kirschwasser (a clear liquor distilled from tart cherries) is added into the mixture. However, other liquors, like rum, can also be used. German statutory interpretation deems Kirschwasser a compulsory ingredient, or the cake can’t be legally marketed as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Interesting, eh?

Chocolate Beer Pudding Cake

Yep, chocolate and beer pairing is getting so popular I might as well share a recipe that has it.

It may sound bizarre to others who don’t experiment with food much, but beer and chocolate go together splendidly, especially the dark variants. The pairing sounds pretty strange but boy does it work!

People who aren’t crazy about beer often have a fancy for chocolate, so it’s safe to say it’s a win-win recipe. Huge beer fanatics can find flavors in beer that can also be found in chocolate.

With some experimentation, foodies now have come up with something that would make beer fans and chocolate lovers meet halfway. Those who have a sweet tooth are the ones who will enjoy it better, though!

Very Chocolate Pudding

Food has a way of tasting more enjoyable when you know you have poured your heart into making it, most especially when it’s your favorite food.

The fascinating taste of chocolate pudding is considered a staple food of many people. Even when it usually contains high amounts of sugar and calories, a lot of people just can’t stay away from it. It is a necessary evil for many.

Chocolate pudding traces back its origins to chocolate custard.  It was initially considered a food item suited for children with weak physical disposition because of the high calorie content, which in turn provides more energy. But it eventually became an item listed in the dessert menu of eateries.

Amaretto Chocolate Pudding

Chocolate pudding makes a great Summer-time dessert.  Well, it makes a great dessert any time of the year, but I like pudding in the Summer because it is served chilled and it's kind of a light dessert.  Eating it in the Summer just feels right.

A box of instant chocolate pudding is good, regular (non-instant) is better, and a pudding that is hooched up a bit is even better. 

Here's a chocolate pudding recipe that starts with a box for convenience, adds more chocolate for enhanced chocolate impact, and includes Amaretto liqueur for a nice almond flavor.  The whipping cream on top is a nice touch which you can enhance further by topping with a fruit or more chocolate.
