No Cook Chocolate Pudding
This rich and creamy no-cook chocolate pudding comes together in minutes using one bowl. You’ll briefly heat the cream to melt the chocolate, but there’s no stovetop cooking or stirring while the pudding thickens. Chill until set, or serve warm as chocolate soup.

- Pour the mixture into the ramekins or cups. Depending on the size of the ramekins, they'll be filled about two-thirds to three-quarters of the way.
- Cover with plastic (not touching the surface of the puddings) and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 6 hours or up to 3 days.
- Serve with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings, if you like. Ripe raspberries are a beautiful adornment and also taste delicious with the chocolate.sweetened whipped cream, chocolate shavings, fresh raspberries
Notes
- Best chocolate: Use 70% bittersweet chocolate for the thickest pudding texture.
- Sweeter chocolate option: Semisweet or milk chocolate will taste great but may not set as firmly.
- Chocolate soup: Serve immediately after mixing for a warm, pourable dessert.
- Flavor swaps: Try orange, raspberry, or hazelnut extract or liqueur in place of vanilla.
