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
Ingredients:
- 1/4
cup sugar (can 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 semi-sweet)*
Directions:
- 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 (at least 2 hours).
- Enjoy!
Feel free to experiment
with different chocolate flavors. You can use a bar of chocolate if you 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. 🙂
