RETRO HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING!!

- Today we are going retro. Maybe you call it "old fashioned". No matter what you call it, you will call this delicious! Homemade cooked chocolate pudding that is easier than you think and uses ingredients right out of your pantry and fridge. This one is thickened with cornstarch instead of eggs so it is even more economical and dollar stretching! This one is a real throwback. The recipe is right out of my grandmother's recipe box and is one that my mom made from time to time when I was growing up. So lets take a trip down nostalgia lane and cook us up some happy memories!
If you have never made pudding from scratch, you don't know what you are missing! Yes, it's easy to pull a box of instant pudding from the cupboard but it's just not the same. This pudding is rich, thick and so chocolatey! It will evoke memories of childhood and if you top it with some whipped cream you will think you were being served a royal dessert! Honestly this is just delicious and I know you are going to love how easy it is to make from pantry staple ingredients.
This starts with some milk, whatever you keep on hand. I like to use half and half so I am mixing some 2% with some heavy cream, both of which I keep on hand. Of course you are going to need some sugar, some good quality cocoa powder. I used Dutch processed cocoa powder, some corn starch, salt, butter and vanilla extract. If you prefer to make this pudding vanilla flavored you can simply omit the cocoa powder and increase the vanilla. If I am making vanilla pudding I like to add in vanilla paste instead of extract and use 2 tablespoons to increase the vanilla flavor and it will add in the vanilla bean flecks that will make it very pretty as well as tasty.
To start, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in your saucepan. Add in about a half cup of your milk and whisk until a thick paste forms. Be sure there are no pockets of dry ingredients in the edges of the pan. Then add in the remainder of the milk and cream or whatever combination you are using. Stir well. Place over medium high heat and stir constantly until it is bubbly and thickened. You will know it is ready to remove from the heat when the bubbles appear on the surface in the middle of the pan instead of only the edges. It may take 10 to 15 minutes to reach this point. Remember to keep stirring with either a whisk or spatula. I tend to go back and forth between the two to keep the sides scraped down.
Once the pudding has reached a full boil, remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla extract and stir well until fully incorporated. Then transfer the mixture to a container and place plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding so a skin does not form. Refrigerate for at least two to three hours and if you are using this for a pie filling it is best to refrigerate this overnight.
When the pudding has set you are ready to serve. Remove the plastic and give it a gentle stir with a spoon or a whisk to lighten it up a bit and spoon into serving dishes or into a pie shell for a killer pudding pie. Yes! It was that easy! You may never go back to the instant version again. I will say, there is a place for the instant kind in the kitchen as a quick way to make pie or cake filling or to amend a cake mix, but honestly there is no comparrison to this delicious cooked pudding like grandma used to make!
I hope you give this homemade cooked chocolate pudding a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Guess I'm the odd man out, but I like the skin that forms on the top.
Me too
My husband said he wish they could market the pudding skins and refrigerate it so it looks like tortillas. LOL
Same here…that’s what makes it “old fashioned” to me…yum!
Yes live the skin on top
Would sneak in the fridge to steal tge skin
Bless his heart Rick always makes me smile when he says "If I have TO", like who wouldn't try chocolate pudding. It looks wonderful.
PRAYERS
Mom taught me to make cornstarch pudding back in the 60’s. So easy and tastes so good!
Dessert for tomorrow. My mom loves chocolate pudding!!
I have never made pudding from scratch. I tried your recipe and I will never go back to packaged pudding!! So delicious!!
I start making this pudding last year. I had to search thru about 10 cookbooks from my vintage collection to find the recipe. First recipes used squares of chocolate and I wanted a frugal cocoa recipe. YEAH for you!
What a great comfort dessert! Oh, and your little whisk is everything! 😃
I love homemade chocolate pudding, but its best when still warm.
It’s alright that way. I prefer it ice cold
I also prefer it warm--there's just something "comforting" about it.
I'm so glad I re-found you. I'm definitely going to make this very soon💜🐓
TY, I have been craving chocolate pudding, for some time now!
I miss seeing you in the videos. Great recipe. Thanks for another goodie.
It’s been at least five years since we changed our filming format. I am not in the videos for a reason. I refuse to subject myself to unsolicited name calling. Not to mention that his is simply more convenient logistically. I have posted a few face to face videos but it simply does not suit our format and our focus is on the recipes not me. I hope that helps you understand. Thanks for watching
People can be so mean. Love you both. You are beautiful people.
The pudding skin is the best part! Just ask Kramer....
I do not disagree! I love it but nobody else does.
I love it too, my hubby hates it, so I make sure and skim his off , more for me😋
Yes it is!
That pudding looks so darn good!
Thank you so much, this is perfect. I always look forward to your videos and appreciate each and everyone. You are a true blessing ❤️
We loved to top chocolate pudding with graham cracker crumbs (to taste)... oh this is a keeper!
yum one of my old time favorites
Great..can’t wait to use this in a layered dessert! Thanks from sunny California 😎🌞.
I'm pretty sure this is the same recipe that my mom used when I was growing up in the 50s!
I always love your recipes!!! You use good easy to find wholesome ingredients.
Lol, I have been making cooked pudding for well, always. I was like what do you mean old fashioned, grandma's recipe then I realized I am a grandma now. Also you can use a dairy free milk, almond or coconut work best but rice milk will work but you might have to add a little more cornstarch. I use peanut butter in place of butter.
Oh boy ! Now this is happening tomorrow. Thank you
Looks easy and yummy!! Can’t wait to try it Thank you!
Oh my gosh pudding is the best 🙌🏻
Looks great will be trying this out . Thanks for sharing 💕
Retro recipes are the Best!
Love love love! This is my new cooked pudding recipe. My old recipe calls for eggs and I can't temper eggs to save my life.
thanks for sharing... Great recipe
Thanks for the recipe. I love pudding and can't wait to try this. BTW, I love having warm/hot butterscotch pudding on cold winter days. Gonna try that version, too.
My mother made something similar. So happy you did this. It will be simple to substitute non-dairy milks.
Awesome!
Noreen I made it. It’s outstanding
I love a retro recipe
i love you so much. long time watcher. good recipe. thanks
Yummy ! 🙂❤
Oh Goodie
Poor Rick, has to be the taste tester, who is he kidding "if I have to" he loves it. It looks delicious, but I agree on top of ice cream is a little different, but as they say, don't knock it till you try it.
This looks delicious!! How many would this serve coz this looks like a big size
Noreen, do you have the cornstarch recipe for lemon pudding? We love the chocolate pudding.
I haven't done one but I can put it on my list of potential recipes to share in the future!
@@noreenskitchenchannel Thank you so much! Subscribed!!!!!
When I was growing up my Mom called this cornstarch pudding
My grandmother made something like this. Hers had eggs in it, No corn starch. She cooked it on the stove.
Some do have eggs. This is easier
I see pie in my future
So it makes 5 cups milk total?
What if we don’t have whip cream
Introduce them pudding meet the cream oh hello
Do we need whip cream
If you want to use whole milk only you can. It will not be as creamy if you don’t use heavy cream.
can I make it with chocolate milk : )
No
Hate Jello pudding mix! Thank you!
