Rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, this Chocolate pudding is the dessert equivalent of a warm hug. If you’ve got a chocolate craving, this recipe delivers big-time.
Chocolate pudding isn’t just dessert; it’s history in a bowl! Back in the 19th century, pudding was more like a savory dish (weird, right?). But once chocolate took the stage, it quickly became the creamy, dreamy treat we know and love today. It’s been winning hearts ever since.
Why do people love Chocolate Pudding so much? Simple: it’s rich, smooth, and gives you that cozy, everything’s right with the world feeling. Plus, it’s a dessert you can whip up with just a few pantry staples, and it’s way easier than baking a cake.
The best part? Chocolate pudding isn’t just delicious, it’s super versatile. Serve it warm on a chilly evening or chilled on a sunny day. Layer it in fancy glasses for a dessert that looks straight out of a café, or eat it right from the bowl when no one’s looking. Either way, this treat never disappoints.
Now, let’s dive into making your very own spoonful of happiness!

Description
Discover Why Chocolate Pudding Is the Ultimate Comfort Dessert
Ingredients
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar (sweet tooth? Go with 1/2 cup!)
- 3 heaping tablespoons Cocoa Powder (and I mean really heaped)
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- A pinch of Salt
- 2 3/4 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- A generous splash of Vanilla (real vanilla is a game-changer here)
Instructions
- Toss the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt into a saucepan.
- Whisk it all together until any clumps vanish.
- Pour in the milk while whisking to keep everything smooth and happy.
- Set the pan over medium heat and stir patiently; this is where the magic happens. As it warms up, the mixture will thicken.
- Once it starts bubbling, keep stirring for another minute or so.
- It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until silky.
- If you can wait, let it cool. To avoid that weird skin forming on top, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
- Or, if patience isn’t your strong suit, dunk the bowl in some ice water and stir it to cool it down faster.
- Serve it warm or cold, both ways are equally dreamy.
- Whether it’s for a dinner party or a quiet night in, this chocolate pudding hits the spot every time.
