Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together oleo and sugar.
- Add dry ingredients and milk; mix until well combined.
- Stir in nuts.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened cocoa powder in place of some flour. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter or coconut oil can work as a substitute. To enhance the texture, mix in a splash of vanilla extract. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pudding tender and fudgy. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of instant coffee for depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this decadent chocolate fudge pudding warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Baked Apples Microwave for a comforting dessert spread. For a nutty finish, sprinkle additional chopped nuts on top or even some toasted coconut if desired.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through. If you prefer a freshly baked taste, you can also reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Serve warm for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. It should still look slightly gooey in the middle, as it will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven. Do not overbake to maintain that fudgy consistency.
