Yum. Chocolate. I'm not sure if these warm chocolate puddings were born of an immediate urge to bake, an immediate need for sugar, or an immediate need for that dark, creamy, earthy confection we call chocolate, but it was a well-satisfied urge, regardless.
It was a rhetorical question, but when I looked at Brad and asked him if he wanted chocolate pudding I knew he wasn't expecting it to be warm chocolate pudding, with a dollop of rocky road ice cream to boot. And of course it was chocolate ice cream - I mean, what better to top off warm chocolate pudding than cold chocolate ice cream?
These were easy to make and of course even easier to eat. They were also a chance for me to use the adorable ramekins that Natalie so sweetly bought, packaged and mailed to me for my birthday last summer. Yes, I'm just now getting around to using them, but this very inexperienced baker is a bit intimidated by creme brulees and the torch ( she has, still boxed up) you use on them.
So warm chocolate pudding it was.
And the best part? I had a ready-made post for Sugar High Friday #27. (I used Lindt bittersweet, by the way. I've never had a Lindt chocolate I didn't like - I especially dig its white chocolate ones! So why not try baking with Lindt, too?) Go ahead. Go. Go into your kitchen and whip up a few of these. But no, I won't wait for you to come back and tell me how they tasted. There's no need in that. They'll be awesome. So goooooooo.
Recipe here. (And one hint - do not overbake. They're better mushy.)

Do you even need to ask if chocolate pudding is wanted? The answer is always yes! I actually prefer the warm stuff. Looking at your pictures and reading this post has sparked a craving in me!
That looks so good!!! YUM.
Don't be afraid of creme brulee! It's fun!!!
Oh man, all these SHF posts are absolutely killing me, all I want to eat is chocolate, for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Abby, do you know where this recipe is now? I can't find it on the MS site!
