Tips
-
For an even more festive look, add a dollop of whipped cream to each serving and sprinkle with grated chocolate.
-
The base can also be baked without cocoa if you want a purely vanilla version.
-
The cream will be extra smooth if you let the basic pudding cool completely and the butter is soft but not melted.
