Subtle layers of dreamy creamy two-tone chocolateness
'Very smooth & tasty' Taster 

As if being a no-bake dessert isn't enough reason to delight in this recipe, the two-toned double chocolate pudding is creamy, smooth, light but satisfying. 

It's lower in fat than normal, has no added sugar but orange adds a sophistication to the layers of velvety dark and pearly white chocolate puddings.   

And all from the same base!

The pudding is rather rich and small portions will more than satisfy.
