Homemade Chocolate Pudding -- Hands down, the best chocolate pudding you'll eat. Ready in minutes with just a few pantry ingredients, this homemade chocolate pudding will make the boxed stuff a thing of the past. | thatwhichnourishes.com

This is, hands down, the best pudding you’ll ever eat. I’m not kidding. Honestly, after making this for quite some time, I don’t think my family will ever let me make boxed pudding again. You’ll also see that it’s not such a big deal to make it from scratch. And the fifteen little minutes of work is well worth the reward.
I usually make this whenever I have milk to use up in the fridge, but I think if I made it every day for the rest of my life, no one in my house would complain.

It’s just that good.

 

 To start, mix 1 c. sugar,

1/2 c. baking cocoa,

1/4 c. cornstarch,

and 1/2 tsp. salt in a heavy saucepan.

Turn the burner to medium and slowly add in 4 c. of whole milk whisking the entire time.

Continue to whisk as the mixture heats to a boil. If you don’t whisk every minute, the pudding will burn to the bottom and the flavor will be ruined so just stand there and enjoy having nothing to do in the world except stir.
After the mixture has come to a boil, it will be thickened. Let it boil about two minutes (still whisking!) and then remove it from the heat.

Add 2 T. of butter and 2 tsp. of vanilla and whisk those in.

And that’s it! Let is cool a bit giving it a stir now and then. Pour into individual serving dishes, cover, and let cool in the fridge. We even like it a little warm.

    Hokey Pete, this is SOOO yummy! I’m definitely licking the pan on this one. So creamy, smooth and perfectly chocolatey. I’ll have to make up a bunch of baggies with the ingredients measured out in them. Gonna have a happy fam tonight!

  3. Alyssa, I did find a gal who used this recipe for almond milk in her homemade chocolate pudding. I’ll pass it along and you can be the experimenter! :o)http://simplysugarandglutenfree.com/homemade-almond-milk-recipe/

  4. Oh, Alyssa! You’re going to stump me on this one! I’m going to put this question out on Facebook and see if anyone has any thoughts. And, if you try coconut milk please let me know how it goes one way or the other.

  5. Oh YUM! So, what would you do if you wanted to make this non-dairy?…I have tried non-dairy pudding once with much frustration and it didn’t work. Although, I have been told try coconut milk instead of rice/soy/almond/etc…Any ideas?
