Chocolate Pudding Cups Recipe

American · Dessert · 20 min total

Rich, creamy, and intensely chocolatey, these pudding cups are a classic comfort dessert that comes together quickly with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
2. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
4. Add chopped chocolate, vanilla, and butter; stir until completely melted and smooth.
5. Divide pudding evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins or cups. Let cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent skin.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled and set.

Tips

• Use good-quality chocolate for best flavor.
• Pudding can be made up to 3 days ahead; keep refrigerated.
• Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
