It’s the World’s Sweetest Day, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a heavenly rich chocolate pudding recipe! This Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding is a divine dessert. It is so easy to make and the result is a moist, gooey-centered treat. Certainly not an everyday food, but a lovely refined sugar-free chocolate hit.
