Homemade Chocolate Pudding is creamy, rich, and chocolatey; these are just a few words to describe this delicious pudding recipe.
This homemade chocolate pudding is simple to make and you will be impressed with how creamy and delicious it tastes.
I have always been a big fan of chocolate pudding. As a kid, my mom would make the pudding from a box, the cooked kind. And as a kid, I loved it as well as my siblings. To tell the truth I thought it was special because it came from a box.
Back then my mom made almost everything from scratch and when we got something that was from a box or store boughten, I thought it was something special. Now that I am an adult, I find that to be pretty silly.
When I met Mike, he was an instant pudding kind of guy. So for years, we have had instant pudding when making pudding.
But now that I have made homemade pudding there is no looking back. Really, it is that delicious.
Can you make homemade chocolate pudding a day before you serve it?
Yes, absolutely you can. This pudding keeps well. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. (The plastic wrap does not have to touch the pudding this pudding does not get a skin over top of it)
What kind of topping can you add to pudding?
- Number 1 topping for me is sweetened whipped cream
- Fresh fruit will work, like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
- Chocolate sprinkles will go nicely with this chocolate pudding.

I’m with ya on the sweetened whipped cream for a topping here, Dawn! This sounds like a wonderful dessert. I grew up with instant pudding, too, but once I tried a homemade version, I never looked back! I haven’t had pudding in quite some time. I should fix that!
