This orange chocolate pudding is bursting with citrusy flavor. It’s one of my favorite easy desserts. Give it a try if you love that flavor combination, like in this chocolate orange smoothie, which is another yummy option.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Chopped dark chocolate works best in this pudding. Preferably with around 70 to 85% cacao solids.
Fresh orange juice and zest give this pudding its tangy citrusy flavor. You can omit the zest if necessary, but definitely include it if possible because it contributes to the intense orange chocolate flavor of this pudding.
Vanilla extract enhances the other flavors in this pudding. I recommend using pure vanilla extract as opposed to artificial vanilla flavoring if possible.
How to Make Orange Chocolate Pudding
Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pan on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pan from the heat.
Add the orange zest, orange juice, melted dark chocolate, cold water, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor or blender.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer that mixture to a bowl or container, then refrigerate for at least one hour. Garnish with more orange zest, if desired, before serving.
