What about sweet pierogi, those delectable Polish dumplings? You’ve definitely heard of the savory variety. This unusual and tasty after-dinner delicacy is called “babcine pierogi z jagodami” and it is a pierogi stuffed with blueberries. The traditional Polish technique to serve pierogi is to top them with soured cream, pour them with melted butter, and then top everything off with more sugar and blueberries.

As with many AllRecipes desserts, I add a little extra sugar. This is quick and easy and delicious!
Perfect. Be sure and use the best chocolate of your preference. I’ve made this recipe a good 10 times and Droste cocoa has never let me down.
So easy and delicious! I used a touch more sugar and heaping spoons of cocoa
I prefer using eggs/egg yolk to replace most of the cornstarch but I was out of eggs so gave this a try. It’s as good a pudding as you’ll find using only cornstarch. If your pudding is too thin, you didn’t cook it long enough. It will thicken, I promise. I like lots of choc flavor so added a scant 1/2 quality semi-sweet choc pieces.
WOW! FIRST TIME EVER making homemade pudding and I followed the recipe (almost) exactly. Like others I used brown sugar instead of white , 4 HEAPING tbsp of cocoa powder AND instead of butter added 1/4 cup of GOOD dark chocolate chips, and it came out AMAZING!! Thank you sooo much. Here (in the UK) I was spending £6.50 for ONE BOX of Jello instant pudding (about $7.25 US), NO MORE, WAYYY cheaper and 10 times BETTER. I am one happy American. 🙂
Super easy. I followed the recipe exactly. I think next time, I will on it butter bc it got thick without it and I’d love less calories. I used 2% milk.
Didn’t thicken up like it’s supposed to. Too much milk?
My mom found this recipe many years ago on a box of cornstarch. Not overly chocolate, just right. Very creamy. The only thing that is different is she used 2/3 c sugar. Other than that I highly recommend this pudding!!
It is delicious, but a little runny… Very easy to make…
I just made this recipe and I doubled it. Turned out great! I use whole milk in all my cooking which I think makes a world of difference! I also used Splenda as I’m diabetic. Great recipe and a keeper for me!
This pudding is delicious and so easy to make. My husband absolutely loved it
I love this recipe and have made it several times. The only change I make is to reduce by sugar (for diabetic reason) by half and make up the other half with xylitol sweetener (brand I use is called Ideal). It doesn’t change the flavor or texture of the pudding and makes it more diabetic friendly. My mother has a sensitive tongue for “artificial” flavors and she can’t tell I’ve replaced some of the sugar. Just keep it away from pets if you use any xylitol in any recipe. It isn’t pet safe.
I made this pudding last night did just like it said but it’s very thin didn’t set up like the thick pudding I was expecting but the flavor was really good .
Very nice, good recipe for chocolate pudding. I added chocolate bits with the butter to make it even better. Yum
Made very close to recipe and turned out awesome Used heaping tablespoons as noted in comments and added about 2 tablespoons of semi sweet chocolate chips Will make again
This was ok but probably not something I will make again. I did make it as written, but I am not a fan of the texture. It didn’t set up as firmly as I prefer, and I would have liked a richer chocolate flavor as well. Call me old fashioned, but nothing beats an egg custard (cream pudding). Mmm.
Nice, smooth, tasty. I will add more cocoa next time I make it. I like a heavier chocolate flavor.
It’s good, the best homemade pudding I’ve made (out of admittedly few puddings). Besides heaping the tablespoons of cocoa powder, I followed the recipe. I used 2% milk. The pudding looks like the picture(s). There was a foamy layer over the mixture after I added the milk but that may be due to over-whisking. I removed with a sieve. 8/16/22 Made with whole milk. Tastes like a more viscous hot cocoa. Tasty
This is exactly how my grandma made it…and it really isn’t that much more work than the stuff in the box, considering how much better it tastes!
Best pudding ever! Made it exactly how the recipe was written, used 2% milk.
Made pudding pie Delish
