Happy Friday! To celebrate the end of another week, how about I share a fabulous dessert recipe with you all? Any objections? This recipe is quick and easy….and oh so delicious!
Homemade Chocolate Pudding
Servings 4 servings (6-oz each)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar cut down to 1/8 cup if you prefer a less sweet dessert
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk (any kind works)
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces chocolate chips (I use sem-sweet)
Instructions
-
Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy, 2-quart saucepan.
-
Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until the pudding is thick (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
-
Beat the egg in a medium-sized, heat-proof bowl. SLOWLY add the hot chocolate mixture to the egg, whisking constantly. You do not want the egg to cook.
-
Whisk in the chocolate chips until they are melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Pour the pudding into cups or small bowls. To prevent a skin from forming, place wax paper or plastic wrap over the surface of the pudding. (This step is optional and can get messy.)
-
Refrigerate until cold or serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Feel free to experiment with different chocolate flavors. If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use a bar of chocolate (cut it into small pieces so it melts easily).

Tried it right now. Delicious! Next maybe I'll try a vanilla version? Or butterscotch? Thanks for getting my creative inspirations going. Looking forward to more recipes. Ever use quinoa?
Hi godly-young-widow,
My mom cooks with quinoa, but I haven't experimented with that yet. Maybe I should try it. 🙂
