Light and Easy Chocolate Pudding [Recipe]

I don’t do complicated desserts.  I like the idea of pudding because it is wholesome and simple.  Every time I look at the ingredients on the store-bought kind, or those packets you can use, I swear to make it myself.  The problem has been finding the right recipe.

I have tried to make chocolate pudding two times before with disastrous results.  The first recipe was in the microwave (need I say more?) and the second one had complicated instructions that left the pudding lumpy.

But this one I found on Simply Recipes was not only easy but tasty.  I made it with low-fat milk instead of whole.  And instead of one egg, I used two egg yolks so it wouldn’t be too runny.  I got “thumbs up” from the whole family.

Do you make pudding at home?

Prep time

Cook time
2 hours
Total time
2 hours 15 mins
 
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups choice of milk
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a medium heat-proof bowl beat the egg yolks and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt and gradually add the milk. Bring it to a boil (whisking constantly) and boil until pudding is thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a gradual manner, add the hot chocolate mixture to the egg (continue that whisking!). Do the same with the chocolate chips until they are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the pudding into small cups or ramekins and cover with wax paper. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
