Does anyone know the name of the exotic chocolate pudding fruit or plant?
Here's a Chocolate Pudding Tree: Black Sapote (Diospyros digyna), Black Persimmon:

"This fruit is also called chocolate pudding fruit because it makes an excellent pudding that looks and tastes like a fine chocolate mousse. The tree is large and fast frowing. Bears in 3 to 4 years. Easy to grow. Two trees are needed to insure cross pollination."

BTW , the fruitlovers.com site also shows images of Cocoa or Chocolate Tree (Theobroma cacao) whose seeds are used for making chocolate.





There's also the Chocolate Plant (Pseuderanthemum alatum):

This article says that Mrs. Margaret Kane, PDG and Horticultural Mentor wrote for Better Homes %26amp; Gardens, %26amp; she states " I know I introduced chocolate plant (Pseuderanthemum alatum)."
