A rich, silky homemade chocolate pudding made the same way in our family since the 50's. Cooled pudding will form a dark skin on top, which is our favorite part! Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Simple and good. Why isn't this the first pudding recipe that comes up with allrecipes search? It's so much better than the eggless cornstarch based version.

My Mom used to add a few mini marshmallows to the hot pudding and stir them in. WOW was that a special treat when we were growing up! The marshmallows would get all melty and really wonderful! This recipe can be changed to fit your family best. Full fat milk, skim, sub in some half n half or whole cream...whatever! It's a winner!
7.28.19 This doesn’t take any more time than mixing up a box of pudding with ingredients always in the pantry, but the consistency and taste is just so much better. Only suggestion would be to use a good-quality cocoa because that’s what you’re really going to taste here. Silky, creamy smooth, rich even made with skim milk (what was on hand). Just not quite as thick as I'd have liked, so I'll add a bit more cornstarch the next time. Thanks for sharing your nana’s recipe.
This is an excellent recipe but I found it needed to be a little sweeter so I would increase the sugar to 1/2 cup instead of 1/3 cup. However, if you like a less sweet chocolate flavor this will be perfect. Some guests liked it less sweet, others preferred sweeter so it is a preference issue.
Delicious and easy. Just the right amount of sugar. I used Valrhona cocoa powder which is rich and dark.
It's the best chocolate pudding I've ever made. I used Ghirardelli cocoa which is pretty bold, so it probably wouldn't hurt to scale back the amount by maybe a tablespoon or so. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I used skim milk. You have to stir constantly but it was good. I might use a little more cornstarch with skim next time. But very good.
This is now my go to recipe for this comforting desert. I doubled the recipe, increasing the milk to 5 cups and the cornstarch to 1/2 cup and just doubled the other ingredients. Perfection
Great recipe. Very easy. I doubled the recipe. After reading other reviews I did add a little more cornstarch. I strained it into the bowl and covered it with plastic wrap on the top of the pudding because we don't care for the skin. Turned out silky smooth and very chocolate. Will definitely make again.
This is the same recipe my Nana taught me when I was young. It still tastes just like I remember!
love this. It's very rich and not too sweet. One thing I find helpful, whisk the corn starch and the cold milk first until smooth, then add the other dry ingredients.
Pretty yummy for such limited ingredients. I made it with powedered milk and it turned out good.
I will never use a boxed chocolate pudding mix again. This is so easy. I did substitute one cup of heavy cream for a cup of milk. That worked very well.
