CREAMY, BOOZY, FRUITY CHOCOLATE PUDDING: easy lower-fat indulgence, fresh fruit, l/over Easter chocolate

Don't forget to have a look at Welcome to the Blog for the latest 67goingon50 developments, on the nav bar above


Pretty looking and pretty tasty pudding for any leftover bits of chocolate from Easter...
Dream-like pudding for a special occasion
'So beautiful! And delicious.' 'Liked the brandy undertones.'


This fabulous indulgent dessert was served at an Easter lunch and the guests were blown away.  

It's probably the last 67 indulgence for awhile in our cost-cutting times.

Despite being older, weight conscious and a little sugar-phobic, they scraped every single bit of pudding from the glasses without pause, murmering appreciatively throughout. 

The chef, meanwhile, was gratified; pudding had been off the menu but was scraped together. at the last minute.  And though the portions were small and fat levels reduced, the pudding was rich and satisfying. 

It is a financial indulgence but costs drop depending on what's in the cupboard/fridge.

The picture shows raspberries but any soft fruit will do.
