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.

  • Heat saucepan over medium heat. Pour milk in slowly, whisking constantly until incorporated. Cook, stirring often with a metal spoon, until pudding is noticeably thicker and clings to the spoon, about 10 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Divide between 4 small bowls and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

The flavor was good, but we didn't like the skin on the top. Read More

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. Read More

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. Read More

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. Read More
