Pear and Dark Chocolate Croissant Pudding

There is nothing more satisfying on a cold, rainy day then tucking into a heartwarming chocolate pudding and this one has a twist! I included Il Granino croissants in this recipe and not only is the combination of pear and dark chocolate to die for, it is a cinch to make. Once you have laid your eyes and lips on this you will find it hard to return to plain old pudding recipes.

Cook's Notes

If pudding looks to be darkening too much, place foil over for the remaining 15 minutes.
