Note
Serve warm for the best texture, as the fudge sauce will be fluid. Can be served with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own.
For a richer flavor, substitute dark brown sugar for light brown sugar.
This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to restore the saucy consistency.
Ensure the water is very hot when pouring to help create the sauce layer at the bottom.
