Chocolate Jelly Pudding 巧克力果冻布丁
I love chocolate pudding and have shared quite a few tweaked recipes (here and here) especially for the festive Christmas season or when there’s a house guest at home. This will be dessert after a hearty meal. This fragrant Chocolate Jelly Pudding is easy to put together with a mix of gelatin and agar agar powder without adding cornstarch or egg yolk. It has a firm and soft texture in between. This delicious dessert can be made 3 days ahead and chilled in the refrigerator before serving. Gently boil the chocolate (in less than 5 minutes), then pour it in a small mould (18 x 8cm) to cool down a little and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can serve this cold chocolate jelly pudding with a simple dust of cocoa powder or with some fresh berries.

hi there, thanks for the timely idea and recipe. I’d to understand why there is a combination of agar agar and gelatine, instead of one or the other please ? Is it optional or really necessary, we do not easily find agar agar powder here. Can I eventually use only gelatine ? Kind regards,
Hi Babe, to combine the agar powder and gelatine will get a firmer texture and will not break the pudding easily. You can increase the gelatine to 20g since you don’t have agar powder. Must be very careful when releasing the pudding after set or you may serve the jelly pudding in individual serving cups.
May I know the 75gm dark chocolate, is it compound or couverture choc pls?
Hi Janice, I used compound chocolate.
