Homemade Chocolate Pudding- Creamy, dreamy chocolate pudding made right on your stove top! Serve it warm or cold..your choice!  Don't miss it...it's too good to pass up.

Jump to Recipe

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.

Recipe Notes

• Add Ins: If desired, you can stir in a few chopped nuts, top with a sprinkle of coarse salt or chopped nuts, add a swirl of caramel sauce or peanut butter.  Whichever you decide, do it before your fudge sets! 
• Stove Top:  Only let your milk come to a slight boil, then, remove it immediately from the heat.   Be sure to keep a close eye on it, you do not want burnt milk in your fudge.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container in your refrigerator. You can also freeze it, if you wish.  Storage in the fridge is good for about 2 weeks.  Storage in your freezer is good for several months.

In turn, my kids are crazy, insane,  in love with these bars.  They request them for nearly every holiday, special occasion, or simply when the ingredients can be found in the pantry. 

Ingredients Needed

A Few Recipe Notes:

• This recipe can easily be cut int half and made with an 8 x 8 size baking dish.
• With that said, you can also use the full recipe for a 9 x 9 size baking dish or a 12 count muffin/cupcake pan for individual cups.
• Store any leftover bars in the refrigerator. 
• Freezing?  These bars are ok to freeze! Store them in a covered, freezer safe container or storage bag. They will be good for a couple of months.
• Peanut Butter: The creamy variety works best. I have used "regular" peanut butter and the natural version for these. Both work great.
• Butter: Margarine, real butter or plant based butter all work for these.

Pictured is a Chocolate Cookie Crust pre-made pie crust. However, this pie will work with a graham cracker crust ( regular or gluten free), an Oreo cookie crust, a shortbread cookie crust, a walnut/pecan crust....the list is endless.  Just stick with a no bake crumb crust and you will be good to go!

What About Whipped Topping?

AKA "Cool Whip". Use any variety ( low fat/fat free/vegan) and brand.  Just be sure it's thawed before you use it.

Recipe Notes

Whipped Topping

AKA " Cool Whip".  You can use any brand equivalent or variety ( fat free, low fat, etc). You will need 8 ounces.

Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix

Make sure it's instant.  Not, heat and serve. 

Milk

For most instant pudding mixes, you have to use dairy based milk for it to work.  However, if you use a plant based "milk" instead, you may have to use adjust the amount of milk for the pudding to set. Check beforehand. 

Caramel Sauce

Want to make it homemade?  It's easy!  Find out how.

Lemon Juice?

Yes. I toss the apples lightly in a bit of lemon juice.  It can help prevent them from browning.

Apples

I like to use Granny Smith apples for this recipe.  But, braeburn, Cortland or jonagold will all work too.
