This homemade Chocolate Pudding is rich, creamy, and made with simple ingredients. It’s way better than store-bought and comes together in just a few minutes! Perfect as a dessert or snack, topped with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (or half & half for extra creaminess)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for silky texture)

For Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

1️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

2️⃣ Add Milk & Cook

  • Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 5-7 minutes).

3️⃣ Add Chocolate & Flavoring

  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and butter (if using).
  • Mix until smooth and glossy.

4️⃣ Chill & Serve

  • Pour into serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap (pressing it onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming).
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.

5️⃣ Enjoy!

  • Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit before serving.
