Yummy, rich, creamy chocolate with a hint of coffee, so good and looked so nice, I topped with recipe#145344 and it set it off great. Hat this to finish off a dinner with friends and everyone gave it 5 stars. So easy for something so good. I'd also grated chocolate to top the cream for looks but forgot to use it - no problem it tasted wonderful as is.

Five full stars of yumminess. As I made this for a vegan I left out the real chocolate but the coffee/choc flavour was marvellous regardless.

This pudding is awesome. I made it for dessert last night, and it was excellent! It is definitely a company-worthy dessert. I used instant espresso powder in place of the coffee and fat-free milk in place of the soymilk. The espresso flavor was more pronounced than I thought it would be (I'd say it was equal to the chocolate flavor - one didn't outshine the other). If you would just want a subtle flavor, I recommend using half the amount of coffee called for; however, I liked it as-is. :) The directions were easy to follow, and it was so easy to make with stuff I always have, pretty much. This would be great with some Recipe #340006 on it, but is decadent as posted. Thanks for sharing this! Tagged for Everyday is a Holiday.

What a wonderful dark rich chocolate taste. Made as written and it was soooo yummy. Thank you so much for the post.

This is rich, creamy and totally delightful. I did add just a smidge more coffee . I also subbed 1% milk for the soy and had to use semi sweet chocolate since I am out of the bittersweet. This could easily do 6 servings since it is so rich . I topped it with a chocolate chunk whipped cream and chocolate swirls I made. Going in my Divine recipes of 2009 CB.
