Secret Recipe Club has come around very fast again this month! This month, my assigned blog was the lovely Angels Homestead. From recipes, to gardening, to frugal living tips. You may remember my secret recipe club post from only a couple of months ago (Cinnamon Bun Mug Cake) was actually from this site too! April sums up the whole concept of her site very well, stating that her blog showcases "easy, allergy-friendly recipes to tips on how to get back to your roots."

This time, I chose the fantastic Rich Chocolate Pudding recipe!

I had actually never heard of a chocolate pudding being a chilled dessert. If you mentioned chocolate pudding to a New Zealander, we'd tend to imagine a hot, cake-like dessert. This had me really keen to try a US Chocolate Pudding!

I'm a real chocoholic, but even so, I think this dessert would be perfect for those not so chocolate obsessed. The great thing about this dessert is that it's by no means overly sweet. It is balances absolutely perfectly.
