The classic Chocolate Pudding you loved as a kid tastes even better when it's homemade! This Chocolate Pudding recipe creates a thick and creamy pudding with a silky finish.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- 2 ¼ cups whole milk
- 2 Tbsp cold salted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a medium sized saucepan. Whisk in cold milk until combined.
- Turn on heat to medium high and stir constantly until it reaches a boil.
- Set timer for 1 minute and boil while stirring constantly.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
- Place in a separate bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place plastic wrap directly against the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Cool completely (about 1-2 hours) in the refrigerator.
- Once cooled, top with optional garnishes and serve.
Notes
- Optional garnishes: chocolate flakes, whipped cream, fresh fruit
- Store your chocolate pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Because the consistency is likely to change in the freezer, I do not recommend freezing your homemade chocolate pudding.
