Chocolate Puddings And Desserts

There’s nothing quite as lush as a chocolate pudding or dessert. They are usually some of the first to disappear from the dessert trolley. Luckily it’s easy to make your own chocolate puddings and desserts and everyone will love you for it. Just pick one or two of the featured recipes below.

9 Summer Chocolate Recipes

Chocolate Puddings And Desserts

Chocolate and Cheese Desserts

At first glance chocolate and cheese isn’t the most obvious combination. Not until you start thinking about chocolate cheesecake that is. You’ll find cheesecakes for sure in this chocolate puddings and desserts collection, but there’s so much more.

The new chocolate Philadelphia has caused quite a stir. Everyone seems to love it. The Italian classics, mascarpone and ricotta also appear several times as does goat’s cheese. I’m very pleased about this as it turned out to be a surprisingly good partner for chocolate in the savoury chocolate vegetarian recipe collection

Marble Cheesecake

A slice of marbled chocolate cheese cake.

Cheesecake is a popular choice. This one is from first timer Vivian Pang Kitchen and it’s a real stunner. Marble cheesecake – need I say more!

Mascarpone Fruit Curd Tarts With Chocolate Layer

One of a batch of homemade mascarpone fruit curd tarts topped with chocolate shavings.

I was sort of regretting I’d already blogged about my chocolate cheesecake, but actually it was good to try something a bit different My mascarpone and apple curd tarts with their hidden chocolate layer are really good. They’re something I’ll be making again, using whatever my latest fruit curd happens to be. Rhubarb would be good.

Individual Tiramisu

Two glass tumblers of tiramisu.

Proper Foodie kicks things off with one of CT’s favourite desserts. The best Tiramisu is an Italian classic transformed into individual glasses of scrumptiousness.

Eggless Tiramisu

Eggless Tiramisu

I know someone in this household who would love me to make this perfect eggless tiramisu from Jo’s Kitchen Larder. I won’t give away the secret, but this version does sound rather lush.

Snickers Cheesecake Loaf

Snickers cheesecake loaf with caramel sliding down it.

Jac of Tinned Tomatoes has been promising to make something for We Should Cocoa for such a long time. So this morning, I was truly shocked to discover that she had actually done it, albeit a little late! Well, it was so worth the wait, just look at her Snickers cheesecake loaf – see this and salivate

Chocolate Dipped Cannoli

Three chocolate dipped cannoli on a plate.

For something completely different, Janice of Farmersgirl Kitchen came up with these Sicilian inspired chocolate dipped cannoli. Filled with Amaretto, chocolate and ricotta, these had me going weak at the knees.

Chocolate Swirl Cake

A slice of chocolate swirl cake.

I’m just wondering how fast I can get over to New Zealand as I know there is the most scrumptious chocolate swirl cake hiding in The KitchenMaid‘s fridge. The question is, why did it take her so long to make it?

Nutella Cheesecake

Two slices of homemade Nutella cheesecake.

Nutella cheesecake from Apply to Face Blog

Chocolate Orange Cheesecake (vegan)

Vegan Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

You’ll find classic flavours in this indulgent vegan treat. It’s a vegan chocolate orange cheesecake from The Baking Explorer. Kat even made her own chocolate orange segments.

Black, White Or Not Cheesecakes

Individual black and white cheesecakes with mini chocolate bars on top.

These black, white or not cheesecakes from Ros of The more than occasional baker are sublime. Not only did she get cheese and chocolate into these lovely layers, but she also sneaked some of her favourite peanut butter too. Then to top it all (literally), she made some cute little gold chocolate bars.

Tia Maria Chocolate Cheesecake Pots

Tia Maria Chocolate Cheesecake Pots

How about these gorgeous Tia Maria chocolate cheesecake pots to finish off a dinner party dessert? Head over to Everyday Healthy Recipes to find out how to prepare them.

Ricotta Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Tarts

Goat’s Cheese Chocolate Tarts

Two chocolate goat's cheese tarts.

Goat’s cheese and chocolate may not be the most obvious of combinations, but they go surprisingly well together. Dark chocolate mousse oozing with salty goat’s cheese in a wonderful flaky pastry case. If you like the combination of salt and sweet, you have to try these goat’s cheese chocolate tarts.

Ginger & Dark Chocolate Tart

Lemon, Ginger & Dark Chocolate Tart

This no-bake lemon, ginger & dark chocolate tart from The Gluten Free Alchemist looks so delectable I’m dying to sink my teeth into it, even if it’s not ice-cream. Kate describes this gluten-free delight as an explosion of textures and flavours exciting each and every taste bud.

Rich Chocolate Tarts

Rich chocolate tarts halved and balancing off each other.

These rich chocolate tarts have a crisp, buttery, flaky pastry which melts in the mouth. Not a soggy bottom in sight. The filling is rich and creamy and has a hint of salted caramel.

Gluten-Free Salted Chocolate Tart

Partial view of gluten-free salted chocolate tart.

I reckon there are probably worse ways to go than death by chocolate. A slice or two of this rich and smooth salted chocolate tart from Gluterama would hopefully not be it, but would be very welcome. It’s gluten free too of course.

Middle Eastern Chocolate Tart

Chocolate Tart

The Middle Eastern flavours has me head over heals in love with this chocolate tart with cardamom, apricots and rose petals from Eb at Easy Peasy Foodie.

Next comes another exquisite buttery chocolate delight. Kat from The Baking Explorer brings us this cardamom & sea salt chocolate tart. Both vegan and gluten free, this is a tart that all can enjoy.

Rosewater Rice And Chocolate Coconut Tarts

Three rosewater, rice and chocolate coconut tarts.

Pastry cases made out of desiccated coconut and egg whites was another new one on me and it’s one I’m very keen to try out. Phil of As Strong As Soup made these really interesting and attractive rosewater, rice and chocolate tarts. And the bonus is they’re gluten-free.

Other Chocolate Desserts

Chocolate Marquise

A slice of chocolate marquise with raspberries on top.

Part chocolate cake, part chocolate mousse, this is one very decadent dessert. Chocolate marquise from The Hedgecombers.

Gateau Au Chocolat De Nancy (gluten-free)

A slice of Gâteau au Chocolat de Nancy, with main cake behind.

A classic French almost flourless cake from As Strong As Soup. Most unusually, his gâteau au chocolat de Nancy contains potato flour, which makes it happily gluten-free.

Inability to resist. Chocolate crunch meringues from Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen.

Double Chocolate Pavlova

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

The next no-bake dessert is this vegan chocolate avocado pudding from Bryony – Perfectly Imperfect Mama. It looks really decadent, but is in fact relatively healthy.

Healthy Chocolate Dessert

4 square bowls of quinoa and sweet potato chocolate dessert.

If you like your chocolate desserts, but are worried about the fat content, how about trying this healthy chocolate dessert with quinoa & sweet potato? I’m intrigued by the ingredients, they’re right up my street. Thanks to Monika at Everyday Healthy Recipes for this fantabulous idea.

Black Garlic Chocolate Mousse

Black Garlic Chocolate Mousse

For something completely left field, The KitchenMaid is sharing black garlic chocolate mousse with black garlic toffee. Lucy tells us not to be afraid “black garlic just deepens and enriches the chocolate flavours”. I’m intrigued. Now, I just need to get my hands on some fermented black garlic.

Chocolate Banana Mousse

3 bowls of vegan chocolate banana mousse.

Chocolate mousse is a firm favourite with pretty much everyone I know. This chocolate banana mousse from Everyday Healthy Recipes not only looks scrumptious, but it’s vegan too, so everyone can enjoy it.

Three Layered Chocolate Jellies

Three layered chocolate jelly

If you ever need an elegant dinner party dessert, these three layered chocolate jellies from Searching for Spice might be just the thing. They’re vegetarian friendly so I’d be able to tuck in too – hint hint Corina.

No Bake Dessert Pots

Two stacked no-bake dessert pots with spoons. One of several chocolate puddings and desserts.

Quick desserts put together in a jar for picnics are a fabulous idea from Claire at She Eats. These three ingredient no bake dessert pots can be put together in no time and contains rich chocolate spread. I’m in.

Chocolate Puddings

By chocolate puddings, I mean baked or cooked sweet chocolate creations that you serve hot. Think crumbles, chocolate lava puds and self-saucing chocolate pudding.

Chocolate Custard

Pouring chocolate custard over a chocolate pudding.

If you’ve never made your own chocolate custard, you can find out how at Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen.

Self Saucing Malteser Mug Cake

This chocolate crumble from Caroline Makes has me totally sold.

Chocolate Bread And Butter Pudding

Chocolate bread and butter pudding made with hot cross buns.

These hot cross bun chocolate bread and butter pudding may not be quite what you’d expect at this time of year, but there were hot cross buns languishing in the freezer at Caroline Makes, so what was she meant to do?

White Chocolate Cardamom Rice Pudding

A glass bowl of white chocolate rice pudding with raspberry sauce and pistachios.

And just in time Jill from Lapin D’Or and More got in with her exotic white chocolate and cardamom rice pudding with rose and raspberry sauce. Creamy rice pudding with a pool of red sauce made with rose petal jam sounds like it would satisfy my inner child as well as my more sophisticated adult self.

  1. Even though i have not participated as much in recent years, I genuinely am sad to learn that WSC is coming to an end. You truly have been a stellar host and I am so amazed to learn it is eight years old. Even though I don’t eat chocoalte much, the archive of chocolate recipes you have will continue to be a source of inspiration. It is a pleasure to be joining in for the last time and thank you for letting me know so that I could be part of its ‘farewell’ party.

    1. Thank you Shaheen and I’m so glad to have you on board for the final chocolate party. Despite you’re only partial tolerance to chocolate, you’ve entered some fabulous recipes over the years.

    1. I didn’t know it was such a well kept secret Tandy. I shall miss it after eight years, but it’s also time to say goodbye. It’s unlikely I’ll be starting up anything new, but if I do I’ll let you know.

    miss We Should Cocoa. I remember being a bit of a lurker in the early days, too shy to comment (what changed days now!) But I loved seeing all the lovely baking and discovering new blogs. Thanks for including my chocolate orange traybake in the round up! Nickki x

  4. This really is the end of a blogging era. I haven’t had time to play We Should Cocoa for a long time, but had to do so for the final time. It’s been such a pleasure joining you over the years with the chocolate challenges and it’s pushed me to develop some recipes that I would never have made. So thank you for all the fun over the years.

    1. Thanks Janice and thank you too for being a part of it for so very long. It’s been fun, but no-one seems to have time any more to take part in challenges. It’s sad, but it feels like the right time to let go.

  5. Sad to say goodbye to We Should Cocoa. 8 Years has passed so quickly. Haven’t joined in for a while, but have always looked at the monthly entries and drooled over the gorgeous chocolate delights. Am joining in for the final challenge, and that you Choclette for all your hard work.

  6. I’m sad to see this linky go as I’ve enjoyed adding my chocolate recipes as well as looking at everyone else’s! Glad I have finally made a chocolate recipe which I can link up in time to join the last chocolate extravaganza!

  7. We Should Cocoa has been the fine home for a treasure trove of delicious, chocolatey recipes over the years and I’m very grateful that you’ve kept it alive for so long. For old times’ sake I’ll do my very, very best to drag one last chocolate recipe out of my foggy brain.
