Chocolate Pudding
Erica Lea on Nov 1st 2010
Why is something as simple as chocolate pudding so delightful?
Smooth and creamy, intense and rich.
Notes: Our favorite way to eat chocolate pudding is hot from the pan, poured over vanilla ice cream. It acts as a chocolate sauce, but has much more depth.
My sweetener of choice is maple syrup. But you can use anything you wish: white sugar, raw sugar, sucanat, etc.
What’s your favorite way to eat chocolate pudding?
Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon (just a pinch) salt
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1) In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, cocoa powder, and maple syrup until smooth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks.
2) Slowly whisk the milk & yolks into the mixture in the pan. Set the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil and stir for 1 minute.
3) Remove from heat and stir in the butter & vanilla. Serve warm (over ice cream) or chilled (with whipped cream).
Makes approximately 4 servings

Thank you for this recipe! I have been looking for this and craving it on ice cream in the worst way but couldn’t find anything to satisfy. I can’t wait to try it!

Pudding over Ice Cream is a good idea! But if you are going to eat chocolate pudding you MUST have whipped cream.
Oh my, these puddings look fabulous. Perfect for a dinner party.

well, I´m a serious chocoholic so my favorite way to eat chocolate pudding is by sinful big spoonfuls with no other thing to interfer between me and my drogue. (did I just said drogue?
)
on the other hand, I have never tried choc pudding sweetened with maple syrup, I think is a smart addition that should add lots of complexity to it. will give it a try.
Erica, have you ever reheated this? I want to make it for this Sunday dinner’s dessert but thought it might be easier to make it ahead of time. Would that work, do you think?
Melanie: I can’t remember if we’ve ever reheated the pudding, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! I would suggested heating it slowly so it doesn’t scorch.
