Chocolate Pudding with Chocolate Fudge Sauce

I do really miss eating Indonesian kind of pudding which made from agar-agar. And here I'm desperately seeking agar-agar and I only found gelatine or jelly :(. Even in Asian Grocery Store I couldn't find it! Do you have any idea what to substitute agar-agar instead of jelly or gelatine?



Anyway, I was so craving for Indonesian Chocolate Pudding and ended up with this recipe. Not bad, though! Eventhough it didn't use agar-agar ;). I really recommended this recipe especially for chocoholic. The chocolate pudding was so moist, with a touch of chocolate fudge sauce, it's heavenly melt in your mouth and impossible to resist.
