10 sinful chocolate puddings
Indulge in our top ten chocolate desserts – at your own risk ...
The greatest joy of moving into my own flat a few years ago was the freedom to forgo a traditional dinner and go straight to the heart of the matter: pudding. While my health-conscious friends swapped recipes for veggies, fajitas and low-fat white bean salad, I hunkered down at the table with a pint of chocolate ice cream and a plate of chocolate biscuits. Depending on the state of my love life, I would occasionally top off the ‘meal’ with a
Kit-Kat.
Needless to say, this season of gluttony was short-lived. When my teeth started aching and I began worrying that I might be suffering from some of the early symptoms of scurvy, I was forced to admit that a woman cannot live on chocolate alone. For a while, I went ‘cold turkey’ (not even a nibble of the stuff). En route to the chilled produce aisle, I’d pass the Cadbury’s display with a heavy heart.
Why do you need to know my tale of woe? Well, because you’re about to peruse our mouth-watering list of ten exceptional chocolate puddings (think dense chocolate cheesecake, chocolate studded with almonds, towers of chocolate) and you might get greedy. Who wouldn’t be tempted by the romance of Champagne Chocolate Mousse and Valentine Chocolate Gateau? Why bother with baked chicken or overcooked broccoli, when you can dive right into the most satisfying and delicious course of all?
I know: I’ve been there. And I urge you to approach the following material with some restraint. Sample one recipe at a time from this list, and don’t turn your kitchen into a veritable chocolate factory. This won’t be easy, however. Chocolate has that effect on people.
Meanwhile, I’ve been eating chocolate-stuffed peaches for breakfast. At least it’s fruit…
