The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the pudding. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I was a bit skeptical about the almond topping, but it turned out to be the perfect complement to the chocolate pudding. It added a nice crunch and flavor.

These chocolate almond puddings were a hit! The combination of the rich chocolate pudding, the crunchy almond topping, and the sweet amaretti crumbs was heavenly. I will definitely be making these again.
