While some chocolate desserts are about intricate tempering and gooey ganaches, chocolate puddings are sturdier, more comforting creations. Cakey, warm and usually served with lashings of cream or ice cream, chocolate puddings are things to savour on a chilly night when nothing else will do.
This recipe collections has some prime examples, from Galton Blackiston’s simple but classic chocolate pudding recipe to Georgina Fuggle’s sour cherry-laced version. We’ll allow a few chocolate fondants too, a slightly posher pudding if you will. If you’re a fondant novice, have a crack at Tom Aikens' simple version, or try Victoria Glass’s gluten-free chocolate fondant recipe for a perfectly gooey middle.
