FacebookEasy Dark Chocolate Pudding
Here is a simple recipe for chocolate pudding you can make in a flash. My son and my husband were asking me for chocolate last night. Only having some cocoa powder, I started brainstorming on what I could make quickly. I decided to try a pudding and researched a few pudding recipes. I found that most of them, while very good, are pretty complicated. I found the inspiration for this easy recipe from the Hershey website. This was my first making homemade pudding. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. You’ll never go back to those little boxes again after making your own pudding. Its quick, easy, and economical. The only ingredients I changed were to use dark chocolate cocoa instead of regular cocoa and to use an egg yolk instead of butter. I quickly chilled the pudding by putting it in a stainless steel bowl nested inside another stainless steel bowl that was filled about halfway with ice water. This chilled the pudding pretty fast and we ate it at room temperature. I garnished it with some fresh mint that we’re growing in container pots in our courtyard.

Yeah! I am all about homemade pudding that is simple yet doesn’t come from a box. This looks like a great recipe, and it would go perfectly with some animal crackers!

wow–i had no idea that homemade pudding was so simple to make! i have an irrational fear of the film that forms on pudding, so i rarely make or eat it.

easy and chocolate — two of my favorite things
My husband often ask me for chocolate and I try not to keep it around because well, I will eat it all. But I could whip this up next time he asks, awesome!

Homemade pudding is the best! I love that this is dark chocolate AND top with a sprig of mint. So refreshing!

See, now my family loved the chocolate mousse I made this past winter but they both hate pudding of any type. I’d give it a try but there’s only so much pudding I can handle. How long will it store without getting watery?

I blogged about your recipe! So delicious and I can’t wait to add different flavors to the chocolate to make it even more fantastic!

I am not overweight. I’m just chocolate-enriched. Thanks for the great post!
I have been trying a variety of Chocolate pudding recipes in search of one that provides a quality chocolate flavor and rich smooth texture. This one was not only the easiest I’ve made, but hot the mark on flavor and texture. I have found my recipe.
I cut the sugar in half to 1/3 cup and substituted a full cup of Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chocolate bits for cocoa powder…I added a teaspoon of instant espresso for a lovely deep real chocolate flavor.
Since Royal Dark N’ Sweet is no longer available I’ve been a chocolate pudding seeker.
This is better!
