Rich Double Chocolate Pudding
Savoring spoonfuls of Rich Double Chocolate Pudding garnished with crisp cookies or berries and cream makes a delicious indulgence!
This luscious Chocolate Pudding Recipe is flavored with both cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate making it the perfect treat for chocolate lovers!
Why You Must Make
- When you need to treat yourself, chocolate is always a viable option!
- Individual servings of homemade chocolate pudding offer portion control which is often needed when chocolate is involved.
- The double dose of chocolate makes this chocolate pudding recipe extra rich and delicious.
- And garnishing this homemade pudding with fresh berries, whipped cream, mint, and/or cookies makes this comfort food fancy enough for company or special occasions.
Ingredient Notes
- Kitchen Staples – Sugar, Salt, Butter (salted is fine)
- Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder – Droste is a brand you can find at many grocery stores. Dutch-processed cocoa is treated with an alkali or base that helps neutralize its natural acidity. It’s richer and darker than regular cocoa.
- Cornstarch – A thickening agent that must come to a boil to do its job. It’s usually mixed with a liquid first to minimize lumps.
- Half and Half – A mixture of half whole milk and half cream. It contains 10-12% milk fat.
- Egg Yolks – Separate the whites and yolks while the eggs are cold as the yolks are less likely to break.
- Whole Milk – Contains the same fat content as when it came out of the cow, about 3½%.
- Semisweet Chocolate – I use Ghirardelli bars. Chocolate chips have additives to help them keep their shape so the quality isn’t as good, but they will work.
- Vanilla Extract – Make sure the label says real vanilla extract, not imitation.
How to Make Chocolate Pudding:
- I love making mini desserts–something that will satisfy that sweet tooth without breaking the calorie bank. My hubby doesn’t get the appeal, but I’m thrilled with a few spoonfuls of creamy, decadent double chocolate pudding or one or two.
- I put half of this batch of pudding into pretty shot glasses and the rest into man-sized portions for the husband.
- The larger version was garnished with Dark Chocolate Milano Cookies.
Cooking the Pudding
- First, whisk together the dry ingredients in a large saucepan to combine.
- Then whisk in the liquids (half and half, yolks, milk) before stirring in the melted chocolate.
- This old-fashioned chocolate pudding is made with eggs and must be cooked to thicken. Once the mixture is brought to a boil, the temperature must be dropped so the pudding simmers until thickened, which will happen at about 200°.
- PRO-Tip: Because eggs are involved, you will occasionally find tiny bits of cooked egg in the mixture. For this reason, the pudding must be run through a sieve or (affiliate links) mesh strainer to remove any cooked egg. This makes for a silkier textured pudding.
- If too much egg is cooked (you’ll notice lots of egg in the sieve after straining the mixture), the pudding will not set properly, so follow the recipe instructions carefully and whisk the mixture constantly while it thickens.
- Adding a little butter at the end of the cooking time also adds some richness. Plus, some real vanilla extract adds a nice flavor.
Chilling and Garnishing
- Pour your pudding mixture into serving glasses, ramekins, small bowls or shot glasses for mini versions.
- Place some plastic wrap across the surface of the pudding to prevent skin from developing across the top of the pudding as it chills. Of course, if you love skin on top of your pudding, skip this step.
- To garnish, whip some heavy cream with powdered sugar to taste and a splash of vanilla, then spoon or pipe a dollop on each pudding. Top with a single raspberry or half a strawberry and a sprig of mint if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the recipe, so check the ingredients. Often flour is used as a thickening agent, but this recipe uses cornstarch which is gluten-free. This pudding recipe is gluten-free.
Besides serving pudding as is, consider using it in a layered trifle recipe, as a pie filling, in a dirt dessert, or in a layered no-bake dessert.
With eggs and dairy as ingredients, there is some protein in the pudding. But there is also sugar and saturated fat from the butter, whole milk, and half and half, making it high in calories and not exactly healthy food.
This happens when eggs are added right to the hot custard without warming them up first. The proteins in the eggs will curdle or coagulate when they hit the hot liquid.
Instead, make sure to temper your yolks, by slowly drizzling in some of the hot custard while whisking continuously. This warms up the yolks so they will not curdle when added to the custard.
Try using an immersion blender, that is, a stick blender. It may not be perfectly smooth, but it will help break down most of the lumps.

I like to take a hot shower and sing at the top of my lungs
I love to make puddings, but I don’t typically make them as indulgent as yours, altho I’m sure that makes them so much more luscious! I love to squirrel myself away with a cup of organic tea, a treat like a scone or some cookies, and read a good magazine!!

I have it lucky, my husband was okay with me leaving the work force so I wouldn’t have to sit in traffic. I take time for myself by enjoying my coffee in the morning and gazing out my sliding glass door at the birds, my flowers and plants.
I have a bath night once a week that is my moment. I also have lots of cozy mysteries on my Kindle, and I sneak in even just 1 or 2 pages to interrupt my brain patterns when I am stressed, and for when I am waiting on another family member in the car or at an event. I also have my secret stash of raw organic honey sweetened chocolates just for me!
When I need a moment, I love to take a hike in the woods. While I am a long distance backpacker and can spends weeks/months out there hiking day in and day out, a hour in the woods can recharge/refresh me. This is what I do for me.
I like to sit out on the waterfront, and say the rosary.

What do I do purely for myself? Sometimes I make Kahlua milkshakes in my personal blender to indulge and unwind. I add a little bit of vanilla and/or chocolate ice cream, syrup, milk, and Kahlua together. During the holidays, I like to add Publix’s brand of Barnies White Christmas ice cream instead because it is the perfect coffee flavored ice cream to go with Kahlua.

Probably the biggest “me” thing I do is keep a bird feeding station in the yard. It brings me a great deal of joy to watch the birds that visit, some of which I even recognize as individuals. Every time I pass a window, I stop for a moment to see what’s going on at the feeder. I try not to feel too guilty about the expense, but I do enjoy my feathered visitors.
My relaxing time is to read a good book and drink a hot cup of coffee along with it.

Gorgeous presentation. I need to try making homemade chocolate pudding. Pinned.
I indulge in long hot showers and tune out the world.

What I do for me is buy and read way to many magazines and tear out pages for recipes and crafts I’d like to try later. My moment is saying good morning to my dogs. Love those cookies.
What do I do for my ‘me moment’??? Eat chocolate is at the top of that list. LOL
Oh my gosh…these look and sound delicious. Definitely makes me hungry for some Milano dark chocolate cookies….I love those things!
For me time, I go old school. I put on some music and write in my journal; I have a collection of notebooks from over the years and it’s fun to go back and read how I was feeling at a certain period of time. I also use one of my favorite fountain pens when I write. <3

I like to have cookies and tea and watch re-runs on the PBS website
What I like to do that is purely me, is clear my head and write short stories and poems.
I love to rent a movie and eat ice cream by myself once in a while!
Liz, you have such a way of presentation and photographing your food. You know me, I don’t even like chocolate, and this all looks wonderful…now that”s saying something!! I would eat all the raspberries, just so you know. The thing I do just for me always is read, read, read. I love learning. 🙂
What beautiful pudding dessert! We love to watch a fun movie, read a book in the garden, or go for a relaxing stroll and of course have a bite of dessert too!
These double-chocolate puddings look DELICIOUS !!
Another great dessert of yours 🙂

I enjoy going on nature walks, which is the one thing I do just for me.
What do you do that’s purely for you? I love to sit in my rocker recliner with a warm cup of coffee and read a great book.

My “me” time is running on the treadmill and watching a documentary on Netflix.
Milanos are honestly the only store bought cookie I eat! Just tried the Lemon/Chocolate, it was great! My most indulgent ‘me time’ has always been getting up at least one hour earlier than anyone else in the house:@)
Oh you had me at double chocolate, I love this pudding! I like to take 30 minutes after lunch to read in the sun and soak up some vitamin D!

I like to take a break in the late afternoon, enjoy a cup of tea, sitting in my favorite chair by the window. 🙂
My moment is sitting down to either watch a show/movie or read a book and eat something sweet (like these delicious little puddings!!!)
I take the time to read a good book.

What I do just for me and it is the best stress reliever – I take bubble baths and love every minute!!
A small glass of this chocolate pudding would certainly hit the sweet spot. And I LOVE Milano Cookies! Forever! I do enjoy my yoga class to, I set up a teacher to come to work and my colleagues participate. it is my moment.
When I get the change to bake…it’s a great way for me to relax and be in comfort zone.
I like to enter contests or catch up on TV shows late at night.
I get in bed when the kids go to sleep relax with a book or my computer and just enjoy my peaceful QUIET time1 ):
hi, i love taking time to sit & read quietly almost every night before bed, thanks for the awesome giveaway & the yummy recipe, will be making this

It all looks great, Liz! Anything, Pepperidge Farm, gets my attention! Have a good week!
I take time for myself by making sure to exercise and meditate! It is very important for me to have me time to rejuvenate! I also do yoga which really relaxes me. I love Milano Cookies and your dessert looks so yummy! I will have to try it!

i love to get a face mask
Ha! About an hour ago, I confessed on my own community page that I once ate an entire bag of Milano Cookies! I love those things. The thing I have always done for myself and plan to continue doing for years to come is shoo everyone out of the house one day per month and make them stay gone from morning until at least 7PM in the evening. I garden, read, eat peanut butter with a spoon from the jar, have a bath, and watch sappy movies on TV…………..if things get busy and I don’t get around to it for more than 4 weeks, my husband and daughter start making plans for it…………….because I am so much more even keeled if I have that one day each month!
I’m not able to very often, but sometimes, just going through the Starbucks drive-thru is a big treat!

My moment is my first cup of coffee, early in the morning.
My favorite way to press pause, unwind, and enjoy the moment is to take a nice hot bubble bath with my favorite soft music.
My favorite moments of the day…first thing in the morning when I am the first one up and can enjoy the sunrise with my coffee, my time at the gym, and the 30 minutes before I go to sleep reading my book.
I love these cookies. They would be great in a pudding.

So gorgeous and totally irresistible!
Milanos are the perfect addition to your luscious pudding.
Oha I could have spoons and spoons and spoons of that pudding!
Simply damn delicious choco pudding!!!

This may seem like a dumb question, but why run the pudding through a sieve?
Not a dumb question at all, but sometimes when you’re making a custard, bits of egg get cooked and will give you a less than smooth texture. Straining helps remove any of those little pieces of egg. If you temper the eggs perfectly, this probably won’t happen, but for easily distracted cooks like me, it’s worth the extra step for the silkiest results. Thanks for asking 🙂
Nothing beats getting a massage to rejuvenate myself!
I’m with you, Liz – mini desserts are SO fun to make, eat, and photograph 😉 I just love them! Sign me up for any dessert spread that features both Milano cookies AND your sweet treats. Heavenly!
Mmmm…love Milano cookies. One of the things I do purely for me is to go to the library bookstore. I spend my time in the cookbook section looking for used cookbooks to add to my collection…and at great prices.
This looks delicious! I’m definitely going to make this – love Milanos!!

Liz, oh my gawd! love this pudding!!! this is perfection!!! what do I do purely for me? Running on my treadmill to exercise and clear my head and regular manicure and pedicures!!! 🙂 these are so beautiful!!! I want one!
I love mini-desserts too. Sometimes a bite or two of something sweet is all I need!
Milanos are the best! This looks like the perfect way to enjoy them.
