A question….. I hope I get an answer from you soon.

Only recently have I started my obsession with chocolate pudding. The thing I seem to struggle the most with is cooking the cornstarch, sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan before adding the wet ingredients. WHY is this? What I usually do is just blend it all up, heat it, then put it in the fridge. What do you think?

I’m a fan of homemade pudding, having just made it for the first time this year! I like that your recipe calls for non-Dutch process cocoa, as I have a very nice can of Scharffen-Berger in my pantry!

I haven’t had pudding in years and have never made it myself, but I always loved it and now I wonder how I’d forgotten about it for so long. Chocolate is definitely the best of flavors and this looks awesome–the toasted marshmallows also sound like the perfect garnish to pair with such a comforting dessert.

Also, rofl at the purple hotdog casserole story!

I never thought of putting marshmallow on my pudding. So glad you came along to show the marshmallow pudding way! Yummy!

That chocolate pudding looks good. I like the idea of toasting marshmallow on top!

Thanks a lot for this! I’ve never made pudding myself before, except for the instant powder stuff. Inspired by your post, I tried it, and it’s really a breeze! It’s cheaper than the stuff you buy, doesn’t take longer than the powder, and imagine all the things you can do with it!
I want to try the recipe with vanilla and white chocolate, with roasted almonds, with nougat and milk chocolate, with dulce the leche and/or caramel sauce, with dark chocolate and chili, with chocolate and Grand Manier…

This looks awesome, and it’s true - chocolate can heal (or really really help with) almost anything!

Mmmmm. Chocolate pudding for me brings back memories of my Mom making it. She made the boxed Jello kind… but at least it was the cooking kind and not the instant! I’ll have a bite please!

This looks so good! I just made some chocolate pudding that did not turn out at all. I definitely will give your recipe a try. Thanks!
