Learn how to make gooey, self-saucing paleo chocolate pudding for that special occasion dessert. Baked in individual ramekins, these decadent puddings are insanely good and easy to make. This recipe is grain-free, refined sugar-free and gluten-free.

According to Emma and Carla of the Merrymaker Sisters, this gooey, saucy, chocolatey paleo pudding is the best thing ever and will dazzle your taste buds, and having tried their desserts before, I certainly believe them.
I have made their salted caramel paleo chocolate tart before (with HUGE success!), so I was really excited to try this recipe when I got a copy of their eBook Get Merry: A Very Healthy Cookbook. It’s such a lovely, delicious cookbook and the girls’ bubbly personality and laid-back approach shines through the 220+ pages covering gluten-free, grain-free and paleo recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including their famous smoothies and desserts.

You can serve these paleo self-saucing puddings with coconut yoghurt and berries or you can top them with all kinds of delish, whatever your heart desires. Enjoy!

How long should you bake it if you use one ramekin instead of two?
I haven’t tried making a larger ramekin version by inkling is to add 5-7 minutes, maybe 10.
