 Creamy Chocolate Pudding Recipe


Creamy Chocolate Pudding Recipe

This rich and velvety chocolate pudding is a perfect homemade dessert for any chocolate lover. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients and tastes far better than store-bought options.

Ingredients

Serves 4-6

  • 2 cups whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well mixed.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:

Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.

3. Cook the Pudding:

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 5-7 minutes). Reduce the heat to low and cook for another minute while stirring.

4. Add Chocolate and Butter:

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the pudding is smooth.

5. Strain (Optional):

For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.

6. Chill:

Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.

7. Serve:

Spoon the pudding into serving dishes. Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.

Tips and Variations

  • Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, and replace the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • Make It Extra Chocolatey: Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftover pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy this creamy chocolate pudding as a comforting dessert or a sweet treat any time of day! 🍫✨
