One of my favorite treats from my childhood was so simple. Pudding! It seemed like such a delicacy, despite being made from a box. As a mom I’m 100% guilty of not making enough of these types of treats. Which is maybe why my kids also think pudding is a ‘special’ treat. But I’ve also spoiled them even further by making this easy homemade chocolate pudding from scratch. They will never look at boxed pudding the same from here on out!
What you’ll need
This chocolate pudding is so easy to make and it only has 7 ingredients — most (if not all) of which you probably have in your pantry already. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 Eggs
- 3 cups of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Optional ingredients would include whipped cream and chocolate shavings (for that extra ‘wow’ factor!).
That’s it. No fancy pressure cooker or air fryer required for this one! I just know you will enjoy it as much as we have.

PIN FOR LATER
I’m better off not sharing this recipe with the kiddo. She’ll have me run out to the grocery store in no-time, ha! I will definitely give it a try at some point. Looks delicious and easy to make.
Yes! I just love chocolate pudding. I cannot wait to make this. I’ll be honest, I usually eat the snack pack version but this looks so much better.
Ha..ha. that’s very so yummy. I never tried chocolate pudding, ever.. I think putting whipped cream or ice cream perhaps, would make it tastier?
This pudding with the whipped cream omg…I wannnnt…I can’t wait to make it, your recipe is so easy to make it.
Reading this took me back to my pudding, my favorite dessert as a child. I’m feeling nostalgic and I do have the ingredients in my kitchen. Can’t wait to make this for the family and go down memory lane, Thanks 🙂
I haven’t had chocolate pudding in forever! This sounds so good
It doesn’t get easier than this chocolate pudding recipe. I usually have all these ingredients on hand too so it’s perfect for when I want something sweet.
I love pudding but I never tried it, today only my older niece was asking me if I can make chocolate pudding, I’ll try out your recipe.
I love eating chocolate pudding! I love it with mint currently!
