Almond Crusted Creamy Pudding Cake
Almond Crusted Creamy Pudding Cake is a cake recipe you will come back to time after time. This chocolate pudding cake is creamy and completely craveable. This is definitely a dessert that's as easy as it is delicious! No-bake desserts are some of our very favorites because of their simplicity, but also because you can make one any time of year in just minutes. This cake is nearly no bake -- meaning you just have to bake the crust, but only for 15 minutes, so it's not a huge undertaking! While we love chocolate, this recipe can easily be transformed into the flavor of your choice with just a slight adjustment of the pudding mix!
