Photo: Chocolate Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pudding:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups whole milk
- 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Make the pudding: Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl.
Combine the milk, chocolate and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until the chocolate melts. Gradually pour the hot chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour back into the saucepan and stir until thick, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, then divide among 6 to 8 dessert cups or dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the cinnamon cream: Whip the cream with the sugar in a bowl until it just holds soft peaks; fold in the cinnamon. Serve with the pudding.

Easy recipe. I used semisweet chocolate chips. 5 oz is one scant cup. I thought it could use just a little bit more chocolate so next time I would add a heaping cup of chocolate chips.

I was pretty concerned the entire time I was making this, mainly because I've never made homemade pudding before. I was so concerned that it wouldn't have enough chocolate, so I added a bit more- and I really could have done without the extra chocolate. It still tasted really good, but was completely unnecessary. I was also concerned because while the pudding was "setting" it developed a layer of water around the outside of the bowl. As it turned out, this was nothing bad, and once you stir up the pudding, everything turns out perfectly. Dont be intimidated by this pudding- it tastes excellent, and is really easy to make!

This pudding is quick to make and has been consistent every time I have made it so far. The pudding turns out to have just the right texture and thickness. The chocolate is just right.
