Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix Bisquick, sugar, chopped nuts, and milk to form batter.
- Pour batter into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
- Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the batter.
- In a separate pan, melt chocolate chips in boiling water.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until pudding rises to the top and sauce settles at the bottom.
- Serve in bowls and drizzle sauce over the pudding while warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or substitute with an equal amount of oats. Be sure to grease your baking dish well to ensure easy removal of the pudding once baked. Using semi-sweet chocolate chips is key, but dark chocolate can also work if you want a more intense chocolate flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate fudge pudding warm in bowls, drizzled with the rich sauce that forms at the bottom. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence. For an extra touch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Aunt Julia'S 1-2-3-4 Cake to create a delightful dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. If the pudding seems dry after refrigeration, adding a splash of milk before reheating can help restore its creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
While Bisquick is specifically formulated for this recipe, you can substitute it with a gluten-free flour blend or all-purpose flour. If using all-purpose flour, ensure to add a teaspoon of baking powder to maintain the right leavening and texture.
What can I substitute for the milk in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk or soy milk can be used as a direct substitute for the milk in this recipe. Both alternatives will maintain the moisture needed for the batter without compromising flavor.
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before baking. However, for best results, it’s recommended to bake it fresh to enjoy the warm, gooey texture.
