 Childhood memory unlocked with this recipe.♡

When my mom would make this pudding, one person would be designated to stir it.  Stir, stir, and keep stirring.  As a kid, it felt like it took forever to make this, but, it's actually not that bad....about 25 minutes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder + cornstarch + salt
  • Sugar
  • Whipping cream
  • Egg yolks
  • Whole milk
  • Chocolate chips
  • Vanilla

Recipe Notes

Chocolate Chips

I like to use dark chocolate chips for baking. However, semi-sweet or milk chocolate will also work for this pudding.  Same goes for the unsweetened cocoa powder. You can use a darker version, if preferred.  It just depends on how you like your chocolate.  ;) 

Stir, Stir, Stir!

Be sure you continually stir your pudding until it is completely done. It can burn pretty quickly if you leave it unattended or sits too long in the saucepan without movement.

Serving & Storage

  • If you wish to eat your pudding warm (oh gosh, so good!), let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
  • Want to serve it cold?  Let it cool for 10-15 minutes, then, transfer the pudding to a container. Cover it for 1-2 hours before serving.  
  • Your pudding may develop a skin when it is in the refrigerator. If you don't mind it, don't do anything. If you want to avoid it, press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the pudding while it is in the refrigerator. 
  • Keep any leftover pudding in a covered container in the refrigerator. It's best eaten within a week. 
  • Topping Suggestions: Whipped cream, whipped topping ( aka "cool whip") or vanilla ice cream.
