Cherry Chocolate Pudding

Tart, flavourful and oh so sweet, this Cherry Chocolate Pudding is a real show stopper. Tart and sweet cherry with bitter rich chocolate in a pudding. OH MY!

You cant deny that cherry, with its fruit and nut flavour, is a natural partner for Chocolate.

Super easy and quick to put together! This No bake Cherry Chocolate Pudding is a real show stopper. This recipe is a small portion one and serves two. Perfect for a romantic dinner for two. For larger portions make in multiples in bowls or one large pudding bowl.. 🙂

Assembling the Pudding! Its Super Easy..

1. Chocolate Cake Crumbs / Chocolate Cookie Crumbs – For this recipe I used leftover chocolate cake crumbs. You can also use any chocolate cookies crushed. They’ll give a delicious crunch to the pudding.
2. Cherry Compote / Cherry Preserve – Top the crumbs with Homemade cherry preserve or bottled, tasted great with both.
3. Halved Cherries on the sides
4. Chocolate Pudding – Once the chocolate pudding is chilled, add a teaspoon of brandy.
5. More crumbs and preserve
6. Cherry on top 🙂

Storing

Store the pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
