My kids love chocolate pudding. They could eat it every single day and I’ve been searching for an easy recipe that I can make from scratch but that doesn’t take hours to prepare. This one has only six ingredients and you can easily make this delicious gluten-free dessert in less than ten minutes using your microwave. It’s also a great way to sneak in some fruit: I top it with fresh berries, depending on what I have in the fridge.

You can serve this chocolate pudding warm, after chilling it for just 15 minutes, or leave for 3 hours in the refrigerator so it’s cold. My kids prefer it chilled, especially with raspberries or strawberries and a little whipped topping. My husband loves that it’s gluten-free, because it can be quite a challenge to find delicious desserts he can enjoy.

If you want to make this a really fun dessert, serve the pudding in a big bowl and make fruit kebabs. Kids love using the chocolate pudding as a fondue to dip the fruit skewers.
