- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pinch salt (Optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and free of lumps; set aside.
- Combine remaining 2 1/2 cups milk with sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chocolate chips and salt; stir until chocolate is melted and pudding is smooth and thickened, about 7 minutes more.

I only had dark chocolate chips and a little more than called for but I love chocolate so I threw it in too. I am waiting for it to cool but I ate some warm and added some heavy cream as it was a bit too much chocolate even for me. I worried it might end up runny but it was perfect. I slowly cooked the milk mixture at a lower temperature to thicken stirring the whole time as I have burned pudding before. It came out perfectly smooth with just the right thickness. I will probably use milk chocolate next time. Just need to let this cool to see if that somehow tempers it before I decide.
I don’t know what went wrong—I followed the recipe, but it never set—I had chocolate soup. Back to the drawing board…
Fantastic and easy chocolate pudding recipe. The family loved it. I used an electric whisk to REALLY blend the corn starch into the milk. I took about 13 minutes to warm the milk extra slowly. By the time I added the chocolate chips, they melted right away, and the recipe firmed up nicely. This one is a keeper for us!
This pudding is so easy. I’ve made with Nestle’s semi sweet choc chips and also ghirardelli semi sweet chips. Not too much difference. I use 2% milk but will try whole milk to see if there is a difference. I melt the chips most of the way because the pudding with an occasional chip piece is really good. I really pack the cup of chips tight because we like chocolate. I like the skin, so I don’t wrap. So much better than boxed and honestly the time difference is almost nothing but the taste difference and “chemical” difference is huge.
Very good, very easy. I made it in the microwave. Mine is 1100 watts. So every 2 min I would stir take it out and stir the combo of the milk, sugar, cornstarch and pinch of salt. It took about 7 minutes total. Then I stirred in Godiva chocolate chips, along with a dash of vanilla and almond extracts. Yum! Rave reviews here.
I haven’t made this yet but have made my share of homemade pudding. The safest and easiest way is in the microwave. Strange but true. Mix the sugar and cornstarch then whisk in milk in a microwave safe dish. Cook on high 2 minutes. Whisk again then cook another two minutes. Whisk and repeat until thickened. Add chips and stir in. If your recipe calls for egg yolks temper them with the thickened pudding then whisk into the pudding and cook one minute whisk and cook in one minute increments until done. No constant stirring or sticking to pan.
idk why, but i always use varying amounts of cornstarch when I make this pudding. i think I’m not adding in the cornstarch slowly enough
I had to use up some low fat chocolate milk, so I did not put a full 1/3 c. Of sugar in. It took longer to thicken, but well worth it. Smooth, easy to make, and simply delicious!
The best chocolate pudding ever! I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips. I also, replaced the 1/3 cup of white sugar with 1/3 cup of coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index. (35) Our family loved it!
3.18.20 It took about 20 minutes on low temp before the milk mixture started to thicken, but the chocolate chips melted almost instantly into silky pudding consistency. Forget the stuff in the box. This is really worth the little effort it takes to make a creamy, chocolaty, homemade pudding. This is something like I would expect to be served at a nice restaurant. Thanks for sharing, it’s delicious!
