Homemade Chocolate Pudding – Classic Comfort in Every Spoonful

If you're craving something sweet, silky, and utterly comforting, this Homemade Chocolate Pudding recipe is exactly what you need. Forget boxed mixes—this version is made from scratch using simple ingredients and delivers intense chocolate flavor with a smooth, creamy texture.

Whether you’re making a quick weeknight dessert, prepping for a party, or satisfying a chocolate craving, this pudding is a timeless favorite that always delights.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 2 ½ cups whole milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • Optional: Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for topping

Instructions:

1. Combine dry ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

2. Add milk:
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Place over medium heat.

3. Cook the pudding:
Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble (about 7–10 minutes). Lower the heat and continue stirring for another 1–2 minutes.

4. Add chocolate & vanilla:
Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.

5. Chill:
Pour into individual serving dishes. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface (to prevent skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

6. Serve:
Top with whipped cream, berries, or chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy chilled!
