    Delicious espresso chocolate brownie paired with espresso chocolate pudding. A miracle happens when you bake this. All the liquid sinks to the bottom and forms a creamy pudding. The batter rises to the top and forms a cake like brownie. Yum!

    I've always enjoyed eating pudding and I thought of making one myself (for the very first time). But I wanted to make a no bake pudding. So I decided on making a frozen one and I tried it out and it came out so good! I can feel the taste right now as I'm writing this blog!! So sharing with all of you, the recipe to a "Coconut Pudding". It'll just take an hour.
