… Or as my friend/coworker Rachel exclaimed as I pulled them out of my bag, “Chocolate pudding!” 😜 While they DO look like simple pudding dishes, these rich, creamy little beauties are even easier to make than pudding. And of course they sound fancy πŸ˜‰ Add a little homemade whipped cream on top and you’ve got a delicious and super simple dessert for your next gathering.

Ingredients:
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
8 oz hot coffee

Directions:
Pour the bag of chocolate chips into your blender.

Next, crack the eggs on top of the chips. Add vanilla and salt.

Blend until chips are about half chopped…

Then lower the speed of the blender. Remove cap from blender lid and pour in coffee.

The mixture will thicken and bubble up quite a bit! Once smooth, pour into serving dishes/glasses of your choice. I got about 8 servings out of this recipe in those plastic Chinet wine cups. Place in refrigerator for a couple of hours to firm up.

Top with whipped cream and enjoy! 😊 The key to success with these is making sure your eggs aren’t too cold and your coffee is PIPING hot to achieve the right consistency. Like I said… Super simple and delicious!
